International energy prices soared, and Musk, the world's richest man and CEO of Tesla, said oil and gas production must be increased immediately and called on Europe to increase the use of nuclear power.
On Monday, Musk tweeted that Europe should restart dormant nuclear power plants and increase the power generation of existing nuclear power plants, which is critical to national and international safety.
For those who (mistakenly) think there is a risk of radiation, choose where you think it's the worst. I would travel there and eat locally grown food on TV.
Many years ago, shortly after the Fukushima accident, I did this in Japan. The radiation risk is much lower than most people think.
Musk also noted that nuclear energy is much better at making global warming than burning hydrocarbons.
As the conflict between Russia and Ukraine continues, the United States said on Sunday that it was in talks with European allies to ban the import of Russian crude. This has left Europe's energy supply in a crisis of disruption, with European countries particularly dependent on Russian energy, with more than a third of fossil fuel consumption coming from Russian exports.
On Friday, Musk said on his Twitter that the world should increase oil and gas production to ease high oil prices.
"I don't want to say that, but we need to increase oil and gas production immediately."
Obviously, this will have a negative impact on Tesla, but sustainable energy solutions simply cannot make up for Russia's oil and gas exports. ”
