Personally, I wouldn't bet on anything but fusion (when/if it is perfected.)
I have read studies that say we have enough nuclear fuel for the next 2000 years (or at least 300-500, if demands increase faster than predicted).
Then again, there are studies that say we could be out of easily accessible ore by the next century.
Examples:
Nuclear power is not sustainable
Nuclear power is sustainable
Is it a good idea to switch over to 100% nuclear, if there is any doubt that it will last beyond 2100s?
Asteroid mining could potentially solve this (IMO), or maybe just skip nuclear and invest in fusion more.
Anyway, my $0.02
