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) -- Erik Reuter http://www.erikreuter.net/
