Increased use of solar power is going to increase available energy in the warm southern states. Besides it is a lot easier to scrub waste gases emanating in a power plant than it is to treat unburnt hydrocarbons from tail pipes.
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.
