Yes! I too like nuclear as the best possible solution here. I guess I've always been familiar with it, since my mother was a radiation oncologist and we lived near a lab where nuclear research has been regularly conducted since the 80s. The funny and ironic thing is nuclear was much less taboo in the 80s than it is now. If there's a way to describe it, the wonder and excitement over it back then was as strong as what we see now with the Large Hadron Collider. I guess Chernobyl changed that, but that existed in extremely substandard conditions, lacked regular maintenance and was never representative of the safety checks that occur everywhere else. I saw things going downhill after the Superconductor Supercollider SSC project was stopped too and then our nuclear reactors started shutting down one by one. We've been backsliding ever since.
So nuclear (especially Thorium) power + electric vehicles would be the best outcome as we could have a concentrated energy source that doesn't pollute (I read that nuclear power produces less pollution than not just fossil fuels but also less than wind power) and electric vehicles to keep our air clean also and lower air pollution in densely populated areas. PS Tesla just produced a lower priced EV car (around 30K) with longer range per charge (around 500 miles), so the future is looking bright in this area.
