Thats because he's stuck in the 80s. It's common for people with dementia to fall back to a time they thought was good and for him, it was the 80s when oil was king.
Oil is still king. It's not by a long shot about to lose it's value as a strategic resource.
Not sure about that.
Nuclear energy is safer than ever.
We even have small nuclear reactors that can use spent fuel from the larger ones, thus solving in part the disposal of it.
Furthermore, significant advances have been achieved on fision power.
Clinging to oil is like refusing to replace your horse with a car.
Do we? Last I heard there aren't any in service.
We'll need a hell of a lot more advances before fusion is even close to powering a grid.
Are you guys taking about fusion? Aren't all nuclear powerplants using fission reactions?
Corrected, thanks!
