There are alternative nuclear technology that are safe and can sustain for a very long time, see this company called http://www.terrapower.com they have the concept called travelling wave reactor which works by processing u238 instead of u235 which is used in conventional nuclear technology

Interesting technology! Suddenly all the nuclear waste from regular enrichment process is useful as fuel. Given the energy to waste ratio of this technology may be its even possible to dump the waste on moon :-) But its still in conceptual stage and can be more than a decade away.

Is fusion a better answer? Or solar, wind, wave power?

@Barney - Fusion is a future possibility. We can discuss it when it becomes a reality. Coming to rest of the available choices, it will be a mix and match and the overall goal should be to lessen our energy consumption. In short energy should become much more expensive to encourage sensible consumption. Reduced energy needs will reduce our impact on the Environment.
