Bear in mind that there is going to be nimby opposition to pretty much any new power project. I've seen it where I live with wind farms, for example, and it unfortunately does work, leading to delays, downscaling, and outright cancellation. I guess the thing is that with nuclear or hydro, you tend to run into a few colossal battles to get the things built, whereas with wind, you're looking at hundreds of smaller clashes. Solar seems a little less contentious, but it's also the least reliable energy source, meaning you will have to look at large-scale energy storage projects which, again, will attract a nimby element.
