There are only better sources, as technology permits. Next is probably a fusion reactor, but that depletes water over the long term. After that, a Dyson sphere or similar technology to harvest solar energy from existing stars is the better option. Other options might be to harvest the energy released from nuclear bomb blasts, if containable, or use the nuclear explosion to create usable energy, e.g., via steam or high-power lasers.
