We get 20% of our electricity from nuclear. Very few countries do more than us. But France gets 70% from
nuclear! There is no reason we can't aspire to get to France's level in the coming decades. Nuclear jobs are good jobs. We could and should get so good at building nuclear that the Indias and Nigerias of the world are calling us, trying to get us to build and supply plants for them! Today they call South Korea.

I get that, but that wont help ween the US off the teat of OPEC and Russia for oil.

At the moment, the oil required for transport alone exceeds the oil produced in the US. If you want to reduce oil consumption, you need to reduce gasoline consumption. The F series pickup remains the best selling vehicle.

Yeah, you'll never eliminate some liquid fueled transport from the modern economy no matter how hot or repressive things get. You can only hope for some of those F-150s to become electric F-150s. And for more electrified railways to be built.
