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.
