It doesn't need to be nuclear, it could be solar or wind, which, at the proper scale, make use of alternative battery topologies such as flow batteries.

Producing solar and wind energies to satisfy our demands is very difficult as it requires implementation on a huge scale and we cannot produce them constantly, again store and using is another option for that we require batteries again for manufacturing batteries we need lithium which requires more energy and have x4 times more effect on the environment than fossil fuels.
The energy return on the energy invested is low for solar energy and other resources. As we move toward renewable we all should be ready to lose our comfort zone. If everyone uses renewable energy sources the demand increases and production decreases then need to reconstruct our society.
