Yes we can, why do you think we can't?
I like nuclear power, and yes it's much safer than the reputation, but its geopolitical (and local political) issues are killing it.
For scale (while I like the idea it has its own geopolitical issues), a global power grid would involve about as much Aluminium as we produce globally every 3.75 years, costing about as much as just what China alone spends on coal every 12 months.
