Extracting oil from the tar sands and shales may be one of the best uses for nuclear power, enormous amount of heat is required to do the extracting and typically the sands are far from population centers.  These two facts may be the best way to proceed for a planet with billions of people hell bent on survival.

I've read here.  So, Remco, you think it's OK to 1) mine uranium and 2) create radioactive waste that will last virtually forever in order to 3) destroy entire ecosystems so that idiot humans can 4) continue to massively pollute our atmohphere?  And BTW, I haven't listed all of the environmental harms that are and would be caused by these activities, just the worst and most obvious ones.

I don't know, Remco. Creating a bunch of radioactive waste to release a bunch of greenhouse gases and noxious chemicals  doesn't sound like what people "hell bent on survival" would be getting up to. Maybe, instead, we all just use less energy?
