Shell possible customer for atomic energy

The mystery around a new Royal Dutch Shell PLC subsidiary is deepening.
Last year, Sure Northern Energy Ltd. bought the most expensive oilsands lease to date in a location that has bitumen deposited in rocks instead of mixed with dirt and sandstone.
Now, the company is reportedly looking at nuclear power to support its experimental oilsands ambitions, 100 kilometres northwest of Fort McMurray, according to the Globe and Mail.
Sure is a subsidiary of Royal Dutch Shell. The parent company is tightlipped about the plan.
Energy Alberta is not secretive about its goal to bring nuclear energy to Alberta’s oilpatch.
“We’re proposing to bring Candu Canadian technology, to become the lowest cost provider of energy for the oilsands producers in the region,” according to its website.
It boasts not only to offer cost-effective alternative to natural gas but also to “drastically reduce nearly all the greenhouse gas emissions required in the production and upgrading of bitumen.”
