As to nuclear energy, I do not see this on the horizon in the near future due to politics. Three Mile Island, Yucca Mountain, etc. are still in recent memory.
I actually wanted to specialize in nuclear engineering and coal gasification but even back then (70's), these technologies had lost their luster.

Storing renewable electric reserve is a major challenge to the concept.
I don't know where we presently stand on competitive renewable beyond hydro.
