Wind and solar (then when variability limits from existing hydro and nuclear are reached, add H2, ammonia, and battery storage). It comes online in years instead of decades and doesn't wind up with 20% offline due to unexpected downtime when it's needed most like france. It is already possible to build a mix with at least x watts 24/7/365 for lower price than nuclear (which has 60-90% availabity) and price goes down as you build more instead of up. The R&D required to reach these efficiencies has been possible for decades, but we chose to spend those billions elsewhere.
