How would nuclear power plants effect oil prices?
Primarily by making electric powered cars viable. Oil burning electricity generating plants only produce about 2% of our electricity - no savings there. But if we were to add dozens of new nuclear power plants, we would have the excess supply of electricity needed to make millions of new electric vehicles viable to be used in large urban cities. This does not address the electrical delivery infrastructure, but just the announcement of a new era of nuclear power plant building would be enough for OPEC to see the writing on the wall. This is all in my opinion, of course. If you don't think EVs are viable, then my theory is bunk. I think a large excess of electrical generating capacity would directly point the way to viable EVs.
