14. Let's be clear on danger.
Burning oil has proven to be more dangerous than any other form of energy. Millions have died for it already and millions more will die for it in the coming years.

(For the record, in 1941 Japan attacked the United States over - you guessed it oil.)

Global climate change is just one reason to abandon oil as soon as is possible.

I can't really see why so many people are focused on the "safety" of nuclear power plants rather than contemplated the "danger" of oil.

US nuclear plants are one of the safest forms of energy production known. I keep asking nuclear opponents to produce one dead body from this form of commercial energy, and consistently they can't. There is no reason whatsoever to site plants underground. They work perfectly well and perfectly safely above ground.

Solar power is great - for rich people.
