Our civilization uses enormous amounts of power. We have run through about 50% of about 1 million years of oil in just 50 years (very roughly). About 50% is still in the ground. Our recovery methods keep improving and there is still unfound oil in the ground, but our needs keep growing, as for example the growing economies of India and China. Our in ground oil has been estimated at a mere 17 years. Solar, wind, water, earth heat, etc. all help, but there is going to be a big gap, hence the need for atomic energy.
