Electricity is the easy part. We can use nukes for that.

What kind of nukes?

We're running out of uranium. Civilian supplies should be exhausted by 2013.

Aside from the fact that the device in that article has about a 2% chance of actually working, has never been fired, is a decade behind schedule, cost more than 3 times its original budget, is being diverted for use as a weapons-testing platform, won't be ready for even small-scale testing until 2012 and even if it's successful at generating power would take another 30 years or more to replicate at the scale necessary to power a city... Yeah. Okay. That could be the solution.
