As far as I know there is only one type of technology that has the potential to compete with Nuclear.

As a result, despite periodic energy price spikes caused by disruptive world events and about $ 50 billion (in real terms) in energy R&D funding since 1978, the United States has made only steady incremental progress in developing and deploying advanced renewable, coal, and nuclear technologies that can compete with conventional energy technologies.

Today, most alternative energy technologies that are discussed — wind, solar, tides, waves, clean coal, nuclear fission and, perhaps one day, fusion — are useful only for making electricity.

In the case of nuclear power, the only new commercial energy generation technology to emerge and scale up significantly in the 20th century, government insurance, liability limitation, and loan guarantees have allowed private financiers the certainty and stability to invest in nuclear energy projects, which typically have high up - front capital cost and long life spans.
