Current options for renewable energy are as follows:

• Wind power
• Hydro-electric
• Wave and/or tidal power
• Geothermal

Nuclear power should also be included as a renewable option because its use of finite resources is small and its carbon footprint is near-zero. Nevertheless,  it is not included at present but it may be included in a future update.

Wind power generation is currently undergoing the largest expansion of all of the renewable energy options and therefore it shall discuss it first.
