I wouldn't count out oil anytime soon. The media is so obsessed with alternate fuel sources, if there's one that's even close to replacing oil we'll all here about it on the news. P.S I heard that adjusted for inflation, oil is cheaper than it was in the 70's. I didn't do the research on this so someone who knows better please confirm or deny."

With oil selling between $55 and $70 a barrel, it's quickly becoming more economical to build nuclear plants to generate electricity. Additionally, the cost of producing power isn't the only economic consideration when comparing nuclear power with fossil fuel electric plants. We must also consider the costs of fossil fuels versus the cost of storing nuclear waste. When all the expenses are on the table, it becomes clear nuclear energy is the cheaper solution. Pathway to Hydrogen Economy Nuclear power is also gaining support because it will play an essential part in the hydrogen economy, which we'll rely on when fossil fuels become prohibitively expense. To get the hydrogen we must split water atoms using lots of electricity. The only economically feasible way to create the vast amount of hydrogen we'll need for cars, etc.. is to build nuclear power plants. Uranium We can buy what every nuclear plant needs in abundance, uranium. Americans, Chinese, the French and everyone else simply must have it. Every type of civilian nuclear plant needs it. At today's levels of nuclear power generation, uranium production (from the ground) supplies 55% of demand. The rest comes from nuclear stockpiles which are not being replinished, and by salvaging uranium from Russian weapon stocks. These supplies will not last much longer. The tight supply means uranium prices will soar once demand heats up as was the case in 1976-1977 when there were rumors of a nuclear power revival. In the current price run, uranium prices have already trippled, but bigger gains appear to lie ahead.
