That's a good story.

I don't think I would have wanted a job on those rigs though.

Imagine if we could use nuclear reactors instead of natural gas as our primary energy source for extracting oil from the sands? Would it be cheaper? Would it be "cleaner?"

When we as humans can stop trying to kill each other then it may be safe to go the nuke energy route. Till then the aspect of an attack by terrorist or foreign powers scares the shit out of me when it comes to nuke energy.
