And although it would not help the global warming problem any, nuclear energy can also assist in producing more hydrocarbons from things like conventional oil wells, oil shale, and coal. But to avoid global warming, I would prefer the renewable methods as much as posible.

Yes, lots of theoretical, marginal and as-yet-unthought-of processes become very attractive with access to (proportionately) cheap energy.

But zero out the global warming concerns and motivation. Unfortunately, AGW is a flimsy but very well-financed myth. Warm periods have been historically mankind’s ‘Boom Times’, and it’s a pity we can’t actually make it happen by choice.
