While your education on the endocrine system seems to be up to snuff, you seem to be forgetting econ 101.
1) Nuclear is ultimately cheaper (big initial investment, but upkeep is a lot cheaper)
2) Oil prices will only go up
3) Oil will run out before too long
If they can sell off all the oil they have left and not use much of it themselves, it will ultimately be a serious boon to their economy. It makes perfect sense. The opportunity cost of using their own oil is clear and makes the decision simple.
