And taking uranium out of water would be very expensive. Desalinating water already costs an arm and a leg, just imagine having to scour for uranium. One day, though, uranium will run out because it has a production bell curve like everything else.
Civilization will adapt and use alternate energy sources, but the survivors will have a drastically reduced standard of life.

Think future Gian...some genius will come up with an idea.
Solar power alone maybe not (but who knows how effective they will be in the FUTURE), but a hybrid solar and hydrogen? Or solar and wind? The possibilities are wide.
You keep talking about expense. Expense of what? Energy itself? Manpower? Like I said before, in the future things should be more efficient. WE will have scientists' brains floating in jelly to do all the calculations for us.
There is always man made plutonium to use...
You underestimate the human desire to live in prosperity...
