In 20 years it is conceivable that Nuclear Fusion will be an economically viable solution.

I like solar much more than wind, which has serious impact upon wildlife. I also like ground source heat pumps.
I seriously doubt Nuclear will ever return. With 3 Mile Island, Chernobyl, and that Japanese Tsunami meltdown, we have a whole generation of Millennials ready to protest. Also, look how NoKo and Iran used their "power" needs to secretly develop nukes.
