We’re talking in the context of offsetting oil energy with some other form of energy. For transport, that wouldn’t make much difference, I agreed ... we probably couldn’t produce enough electriciy to displace oil for transport. So that’s a separate nut to crack (maybe natgas will be the answer but a lot of infrastructure changes would have to take place.)
But nuclear could make a huge difference in our other energy needs and make us much less dependent on foreign sources of oil and being at the mercy of price fluctuations.
I will post a separate graph of energy use by sector.
I am quite familiar with that chart.
Which of the lines from Petroleum do you think your are going to replace? We have already ruled out 71% of the choices. Do you think you can use nuclear to replace the one feeding industry for petrochemical feedstock?
