However, big oil likely has only about 2 decades of dominance before its replaced by electricity. On the one hand electric cars will gain the upper hand. In part they’ll do so because 4th & 5th generation nuclear power plants will produce electricity for 1/4-1/10 current costs.

Nuclear power plants generate/produce electricity. What fuel do they use to operate?

Thorium will likely be the big breaking story over the next decade. The US had working reactors during the 60’s but abandoned them in the early 70’s for dumb reasons. lftr Thorium reactors are not only safe but they also have virtually no radiation. They can be used to burn uranium wastes. Portable low cost versions can be made in factory and shipped to locations where there’re needed. Best of all they can produce electricity for 1/4-1/10 of current cheapest coal costs.
