I too think we'll see a huge resurgence in nuclear fission power. That and a major shift back to coal.
These will both have disastrous consequences and, annoyingly, won't actually solve the problem. Nukes are a huge red-herring. The uranium fuel problem shortage will become just as urgent as the oil problem if we shift over to nukes as a primary power source. Also, France may produce a lot of electricity from nukes; but the food they eat is still basically a by-product of fossil-fuel farming.
