Yes, I think unless we have some killer carbon tax we'll get fuel from tar sands, shale, gas to liquid, coal to liquid just to keep the motorists happy.
I've resigned from my state Automobile Association because of their outrageous and relentless promotion of the car culture with more travel, more holidays, more roads, lower fuel taxes etc.
They even had ads at bus stops with the theme "Wouldn't you rather be driving?"
I too am open minded about nuclear. If the choice is to be certain toast and complete breakdown of civilisation or risk nuclear I would risk nuclear.
Thousands more people have been killed by hydro accidents than nuclear.
Actually I'm not open minded about nuclear at all - I think building nuclear plants would be a foolish waste of money.
But that doesn't make it any less likely to happen than producing oil from shale...
