4. Scrapping the electric car concept ...
was a good idea.

Nuclear energy requires uranium, which is also needs to be discovered, extracted and transported using oil-powered machinery. Nuclear power plants also consume a tremendous amount of oil during their initial construction and continued maintenance.


Not to mention that would also threaten the world's uranium deposits eventually that will drive the price of it upward and in return cause electric rates to skyrocket.
