Summarize Argument
The activist concludes that a new technology to derive oil from sewage sludge improves our ability to turn away from nuclear power and move towards environment-friendly energy. In support, the activist explains that this sewage-sludge oil can be used to generate power.
The activist's claim that this new oil will allow us to use cleaner energy relies on assessing the costs and benefits of energy production options. We're only given a single benefit of the new oil—that it can be used as fuel—so any information that informs us of other costs and benefits of this oil relative to nuclear power would be useful to evaluate the argument.
