The near future looks like Solar + Natural gas. Driven entirely by economic factors. It is cheap to build PV, and Natural Gas plants cost less than sufficient batteries/storage for PV.
I used to be very bullish on Nuclear. The numbers just don't pencil out in the US under the current constraints. We would need a vast reduction in the overhead to build a Nuclear plant, or a vast increase in the costs of the alternatives.
