If Nukes became the go to... Molten Salt Thorium Reactors would the way to go. But IIRC, They cant be weaponized... So the gooberment doesnt want them. This is not new tech, It was explored in the 60s.And your solution is? I know it's not wind turbines.
As long as I brought them up... What a god-awful site on the horizon as you travel through our beautiful Republic.
As of right now, Fast Ramp Combined Cycle Combustion Turbines are the way to go. They can also be adapted to Run on an H2 blend to help reduce emissions.
Bottom line, Until we figure out fusion, Fossil Fuels aren't going anywhere.
