Indeed. Just like no oil drilling. Although I agree with that. Not
because of environmental concerns, but I believe more oil isn't a
solution. We need to break that addiction.

If you don't have evironmental concerns, then what's the need to break
this "addiction" to oil? I would say that just as we're "addicted"
to oil, we're addicted to food, the internet, computers and most
everything else. Should we give all that up too, just because one
day you decide it's an "addiction"?


Nuclear would help with
that.

Nuclear by itself isn't going to help much with the demand for oil.
Only a small amount of electric power is generated from oil.
