I hate to break it to u guys
But oil is not really used that much (competitively) for heating ,,, that is natural gas
And a country needs a diverse energy mix
Nuclear cannot replace natural gas. The former with its large fixed cost is ideal to meet the base demand while the peaks can be managed by natural gas (which has higher variable cost) or something similar.
It is inefficient to have only one single source of energy
