Are ppcoin and primecoin the energy efficient ones alternative to PoW.

Primecoin no, it is simple PoW.
PPcoin is PoS/PoW.

Obviously we don't need PoW because we already completed our distribution phase so we would have an entirely PoS currency. NXT is an example of pure PoS albeit a crappy one.

NXT is pure PoS but why does the wallet suck? The bitcoin wallet looks better why not use that never understood it.  And the bitcoin 2.0 coins are even worse with there wallets and they work on top of bitcoin so Mastercoin, Protoshares, and CounterParty.
