1. wind (no side effects, minimum footprint for windmill.)
2. Solar panel ( same)
3. Hydrogen fuel cells ( only emissions are water and electricity)
the problem with bio-fuel is that you need to destroy natural habitat to make room to grow crops to make the fuel out of, and the emissions aren’t significantly lower than conventional fossil fuels.
The problems with hybrid cars are that it takes more energy to create one, than the car saves, and they strip mine rain-forests to get the metals to make the batteries out of.
Hydro would be the first choice. It is already a proven technology. Lots of micro hydro plants could be built on every fast moving stream and rivers. Of course environmentalist won’t like it.
Alcohol fuels would be good to keep the cars running.
Solar- clean
Wind is useless as existing wind farms run only about 20% of the time, so we sit in the dark the other 80%.
