The least threatening of all the emissions/pollutants from society is CO2. Threatening to whom? to any and all life. and there's nothing happening that will alter the path we're on, the human race, in terms of producing significantly more of it for at least the next several decades..... so all those people who've taken to believing that CO2 is harmful will have to expect to be harmed by it... the only way we're going to stop creating CO2 is if we run out of fossil fuels.

Broadly speaking Oil is transportation, coal is electricity, Per KiloWatt oil is multiples of the cost of coal.
Saudi's have a better idea than any of the true state of oil reserves, correct? and they've decided to go nuclear for their electricity, surely you're right lolzzz, that this is a flag about where they think reserves and therefore the price of oil is headed.

Those countries that can afford to move ahead of the pack are moving to nuclear, the rest are being sold a smoke and mirrors about how tooling up for a post fossil fuel world is really all about saving the world from catastrophic damage from its emissions. A spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down, aka, pay your taxes it's for a good cause.
