Are there really viable energy alternatives to fossil or nuclear?

The question really should be posed this way:

Is there an energy generation technology that can be produced using only energy generated from that tech? Solar, for example. For it to be fully self-sustaining, it must be able to power the machines that mine the raw materials, power the plants that make the mining machines, cook the food the workers eat, power the machines that make the workers' clothes, power the machines that make the solar panels themselves, and all the other minutiae that go into the entire chain of production, no matter how far removed.

As it is right now, there is no energy technology than is fully self-sustaining.
