Why do you think he went to war with Iran? US oil companies sure aren’t complaining right now. THey need over 62$ a barrel to break even. Before the war it was like 70$ish a barrel. Barely making a profit. As for nuclear progress the US won’t be a leader in that going forward. It hasn’t even moved past uranium steam reactors. China is out here building Thorium Molten Salt reactors. They even have plans to put one in a cargo ship. Combined with their solar and wind production they’re the only hope humanity has to stop climate change.
