Nuclear is the best and most sustainable energy production long term. You get left with nuclear waste which we are still figuring out how to deal with, but contemporary reactors are getting safer and more efficient. Not to mention breeder reactors can use the byproducts of their energy production to further produce energy.

To a point yes but large scale energy storage needed to make renewables viable to handle all of the load is not economically viable yet

Renewables with large scale storage are currently cheaper than any other source of energy
