Fusion, not fission. Except they haven't cracked fusion yet. Decades away from it. Despite supposed breakthroughs on harnessing for longer and hotter, it's still an expensive Christmas display. Looks pretty does shit but costs even more. Fission unlike all those Ads from the 50s about it being the future of everything, has only brought even more hyperinflation.
Renewable energy is an even greater con, and it costs. It simply causes more demand, and now it needs more energy sources, because everything is running on the grid. It isn't clean. The products Ewaste have no lifetime. But they need even more renewable sources.
This Rock needed nothing else. Today it does, it needs to find more consumption, for its human crap. They're even trying to mine asteroids sooner and dredge the ocean.
There is plenty of future in fission in the near term. Most of our widespread reactor designs are based on solid fuel and uranium fuel cycles - low pressure/high temperature. Pressurised light water reactors were designed for submarines because it was quick to do, the guy who designed them never intended them for widespread civilian use scaled up. In the late 1960's they were already working on new fuel cycles using thorium and liquid fuel - indeed a prototype of one of these ran at Oak Ridge Laboratory for years until the Nixon administration shut down the program. This design is much safer. Thorium is far more common in the earths crust. It only needs a small amount of Uranium as a "kick" to start the reaction. Liquid fuel also doesn't degrade like solid fuel does and require reprocessing.
Thorium are an older model being reinvented. Not much has changed except supposed waste. They still enrich, and still produce waste. Is it more efficient, supposedly, what's being sold, but who knows or cares.
Yes nuclear is by far the best means. If you have competence and care. Renewables supplement the grid they don't replace it. Renewables simply burn more energy, costing more as the increased demand fuels consumption. They are fallible and break quickest. They are parts and maintenance and service heavy. Emitting far more than their absurd assumptions of wind, sun, water gives us electricity. Pure lies straight off the serpent's lips beguiling dumb Greta. Electricity comes from products requiring manufacture, how are they made. What impact do they have.
But electricity isn't viable for furnaces. It is a redundant method compared to fossil fuels. Burn a log or a lump of coal, no, the autistic's seethe, you need a solar power stove. It is the level of stupid today.
either humanity goes nuclear, meaning power, or we will be stuck on this rock and UTTERLY fucked energy wise.
THATS the end game
