So when you said “switch to”, what was going to be switched to nuclear?

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.
