Isn't the flaw in just treating this like an energy source problem? It isn't. Switching to Nuclear or renewable doesn't reduce the massive contribution from beef farming for example. Another huge contributor is deforestation due to crops such as palm oil, which demand is fueled largely by palm oil being considered a renewable energy source. It's too complex to boil down to 'wait for the unicorn technology to solve the problem'
