The last thing we need is nuclear power on Earth. It will create more pollution than a millenium of coal and gas. Let the Sun create all the nuclear power we want.
Wind power is too expensive and erratic. Besides the more energy we remove from the circulating winds the more it will alter climate.
The best source of power is to build dams to store water when it rains and release the stored energy to drive generators. However we can't store enough energy this way to supply all our needs.
In the short term the safest and cheapest is coal fired power that has been improved in efficiency over the years so much that all the pollutants are removed before the left over CO2 is released to continue the carbon cycle.
Of course this surmise won't go over well with the people that are pushing political agenda.
