No. Nuclear energy is the most efficient in producing steam for use in engines. 15-20% of the energy in fossil fuels is lost up chimneys into the atmosphere, and is unusable. Solar and Wind energy farms cannot harness or convert effectively all the energy in the sunlight or wind and have much lower actual efficiencies. Fossil fuels presently are the cheapest and most reliable energy source available. Solar and wind energy are less reliable.
