Musk called for Europe to generate more nuclear power in order to alleviate fears of a gas shortage.
Europe should restart dormant nuclear power plants and boost the output of those that are operational, according to Musk.

Musk threw a challenge to his followers, claiming that the notion of radiation risk is mistaken.
Pick what you think is the worst location for those who think this is a radiation risk. I will travel there and eat locally grown food on TV, I did so in the Japanese prefecture of Fukushima after the nuclear accident, he said.
According to a press release from SolarCity, Musk went to Japan in July of 2011. Insider was unable to verify whether Musk ate locally grown food or not.

There have been two major nuclear plant disasters in history, the first being at Chernobyl in the former Soviet Union in 1986. In Chernobyl, children, as well as emergency and recovery workers, are at increased risk of health effects caused by radiation, but the vast majority of the population need not live in fear of serious health consequences, according to a United Nations assessment of the disaster. There were no adverse health effects among the residents of Fukushima who were directly related to the accident.
Musk called for more nuclear energy in Europe two days after he pushed for a boost in US oil and gas output.
Energy Intelligence reported last Wednesday that Russian oil exports have fallen by one-third due to Western sanctions. Although the sanctions do not specifically target Russian oil and gas exports, there was general reluctance among buyers to take Russian oil and gas.
The developments have caused oil prices to spike to multiyear highs.
Musk said on Friday that we need to increase oil and gas output.
