There is, however, no reason that fission power need be restricted to uranium as a fuel source. Use of breeder reactors would allow power consumption at our current levels longer than the sun is likely to exist.
Even if fission power is not the long-term solution, it is the desperately needed current solution. Running out of power would definitely kill us slowly. Current rates of CO2 production will kill us quite quickly.
