Short term I think nuclear power will help us get off oil, long term I believe renewables such as solar and wind are the only way to go.
Some of the great things about solar and wind as opposed to nuclear.
- Easily distributed and don't make great military targets
- Solar is expensive now but improving. Economies of scale will help too.
- No need to constantly mine fuel and dispose of waste.
