Not really, renewable energy sources are providing significant electrical energy now and the energy storage methods available mean that there can be ongoing access to electricity when conditions don't suit generation (are there many days when the sun doesn't shine, the wind doesn't blow, waves aren't generated, the hydroelectricity dams are empty and the tides don't turn?).  Nuclear power could be part of the mix but fusion rather than fission seems to be the way ahead ... and it doesn't leave dangerous waste for many lifetimes.

Nuclear fusion reactors, like the one being built in France, have a way to go but have the potential to provide truly clean energy.

Mind boggling process building a mini star/sun contained in a magnetic field within a reactor casing that can take a 1300 degrees celsius temperature.
