The best option would be sustainable, cheap, safe, environmentally friendly, and abundant enough to power the world.
The carbon free options:
Wind, Geothermal, Hydro - not abundant enough to power the world, but a good local option
Solar - expensive, but in space could power the world.
Nuclear Fission - would need breeder or thorium technologies, but possible to power the world for many centuries.
Hot Fusion - not expected to be available in the near term but could power the world.
Cold Fusion - same as hot fusion but without the radiation problemRight now Nuclear Fission is the best option. But if Rossi, Defkalion, Brillouin, or STMicroelectronics delivers a cold fusion power plant I would change my opinion.
Ditto for the Focus Fusion effort by Eric Lerner.

I expect government to block LENR, to protect the incumbent and the green to frighten the population from hidden Malthusian vision.
New Renewable from data I have are not efficient (if not polluting)... Waterfall is the perfect energy but limitted.
Nuke is incompatible with modern fearmonger.Anyway I think the blocus ofLENr will explode because the markets of many machine (boiler, cars, appliance, trucks, trains, cargo, powerplants ) will freeze/flow immediately with clients waiting for the LENr version... manufacturer will be desperate and will develop LENR variant in 2 years...
imagine that someone explain you that the next generation smartphone will support 4-5G, last 1 month on batteries, have 150cores, for less than 20$... guess what will happen with iPhone and galaxy S sales the day after.
guess what will happen when your government says he will forbid that telephone to protect apple and Samsung ?
guess what will happen in africa and china if OECD countries forbid it?
