Can I only choose one?

I would rely on nuclear to help make the transition, and aim originally to have 50% at least of power come from a combination of geothermal and tidal/hydro (first and foremost) and then supplemented by things like solar, wind and finally coal. Cars and other such things would be electric and take energy from the renewable grid and we would have more leeway for things like farmers tractors and transport trucks to use oil, and if electricity couldn't do it, than natural gas and bio-fuel for heating houses etc.

I'd also stress the importance of proper architecture in new homes and renovations to take advantage of natural power sources.

Oh and magnetic power for things like trains n shit, plus if we could figure out magnetic energy for cars or planes that would be awesome.
