Oil shale extraction is being tested, so it's not like it's impossible for it to become useful. It's still a shot in the dark though.
I really hope all countries try to move away from coal, but I wouldn't be surprised if people keep burning it all until the atmosphere is filled with carbon, mercury, radiation (burning coal generates much more radiation than the equivalent nuclear power plant) and all the other wonderful stuff coal contains.
