Personally, if we react as a civilization in time, I would expect a mix of wind and nuclear with nuclear providing a guaranteed minimum base generating capacity and wind/solar providing everything over that. This would buy additional time to refine or develop new technologies to address the episodic nature of wind/solar power generation.

Timing is everything. I think the alternatives are there. The question, per the Hirsch Report, is did we start ramping them up soon enough?
