Just to enrage John Clark, I'll mention the possibility that low 
energy nuclear reactions aka "cold fusion" might finally pay off and 
prove capable of being scaled up. Cf.:

CBS TV's "60 Minutes" Turns Up the Heat

Low-energy nuclear reactions, historically known as "cold fusion," 
will get their 12 minutes of fame on CBS TV's 
"<http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/1998/07/08/60minutes/main13502.shtml>60 
Minutes" Sunday at 7 p.m. Eastern Standard Time in a program titled 
"Cold Fusion Is Hot Again." [etc]

[I didn't see it; I expect it was science-very-very-lite. Anyone here 
watch it?]

Alternatively, Bussard's Polywell fusion methods might work:
