Fair enough. I was at first just trying to see if you have a physics question about it, but then I got to the point of pressing a broader standard of evidence-based theories... till I degened down to picking at hypotheticals. my bad.
Solar panels are nowhere near a theoretically viable option to produce the amount of energy we consume. Until I see a solar panel powered mining operation which mines the resources to feed a solar panel factory which is 100% run on solar power, I'm not giving any hope to the solar solution.
It's really got to be nuclear. The energy density of a good nuclear fuel rod is so freakishly many orders of magnitude greater than any chemical reaction can possibly offer.
