I so much hope that we (the world) replace thermal plants (except geothermal) with nuclear ones. But yeah there is a lot of resistance and it is very expensive.

i too hope we soon replace all fossil fuel plants with alternatives, but i don't think it'll be nuclear, for the reasons given above.
there'll probably be an increase of solar and wind for many more years, as they're a safe bet - cheap, low maintenance and you don't need much skilled human labor to operate it.
additionally, battery storage will be become ever cheaper and more ubiquitous. together with traditional storage options, like water. we'll see how far that gets us.
