Musk has spoken out many times about global energy and power issues, before with oil, this time with nuclear power. Recently, global oil prices have risen sharply. Brent oil soared by 18% yesterday, once approaching the $140 mark.
This is not good for fuel vehicles, but it is an opportunity for the electric vehicle industry. However, Tesla CEO Musk has a different attitude. Call for the increased global oil and natural gas production.
Just now, Musk called for an increase in nuclear power on the Internet, saying that Europe needs to restart nuclear power plants and increase nuclear power generation, which is very important for national and international security.
Hopefully, it is now extremely obvious that Europe should restart dormant nuclear power stations and increase power output of existing ones.
This is *critical* to national and international security.

In addition to France, many EU countries have been hoping to phase out nuclear power in recent years and have been shutting down nuclear power plants. Among them, Germany plans to close all domestic nuclear power plants by 2022, and Italy has also cancelled plans to build new reactors.
Now the situation has changed. Earlier this month, the European Union defined nuclear power as green energy. France announced a new round of nuclear power construction. eight. The EU now relies on nuclear energy for a quarter of its electricity, half of which is produced in France.
