I wanted to add one more thing: France is unusual in that they generate
a large fraction of their electrical power by nuclear reactor -- more
than 75%. They would have an easier time giving up foreign oil than
almost any other major industrialized country, especially if hydrogen
fuel cell cars or electrical cars are adopted (with the hydrogen
generated by nuclear power)
