We use natural gas, hydroelectric, nuclear and coal for gas.
We use oil almost entirely for gas (diesel, unleaded, kerosene, etc.) and also manufacturing.
Nuclear energy solves none of this. Something like 70% of our oil consumption is for stright up gasoline.
What we need is a gas replacement. For that, you should all look up biodiesel (vegetable based fuel). I happen to be writing my BA on it.
It is the future. We can grow all the soybeans in the US and make our own fuel. The country would end making trillions.
Look it up. Now if only we could get rid of those goddamn Oil lobbyists. And Bush. Kerry was going to put 20 billion towards alternative fuels. I dont think Bush will be giving any. Bush likes oil.
