if they want to get CO2 out of power production, the harsh reality right now -is either: Nuclear or lights out, lol.
Nuclear is most efficient by miles and while its alot better than it once was, (produces far less waste + and better regulated) it will never be 'risk of catastrophe' free and no one will ever want one in their back yard.
Mind you people don't want solar or wind in their back yard either, just because its ugly, lol.

Wind, Hydro and Solar are all great, but they are not enough on their own as they are inefficient and their production is very inconsistent.
it looks like Hydrogen fuel and 'clean oil' might be the best answer and possible alternative to nuclear, but they are both still W.I.P and it will still take alot of time and money to get the infrastructure in place for them.

But yeah coal and oil have to go, even if the environmentalists are all wrong (which i don't think they are) Coal and Oil will run out eventually anyway. Lithium is drying up too (for anything reliant on batteries. e.g solar)
