What is your favorite renewable energy?

Different renewable energy types are, to use an architectural term, site specific. So it is not so much which renewable energy type is the best, but which is the best for where you live, for your community, and for you personally. Here is Vermont, solar is viable for some people, fairly popular, and commercially available. Microhydro would be a great option for a lot of people, but there are few companies that provide the set-up service. Wind is another good option, can be for personal or community use. If we are going to make in roads in renewable energies then we must start thinking outside the grid and ask what we can all do to create sustainable energy for our communities and for ourselves.

They produce such large amounts of energy and are relatively safe. There are only one or two incidents with nuclear ( 3 mile island). And that was because of negligence not by the standard idea.

I live in SE Texas. And would love to have Solar and Wind for our home. I have been looking a sorce of both systems. I have found several but the representative spend most of the time trying to talk me out of it and then refuse to give me a price for the systems. I am very furstraded. I am still looking and I will have a combination one day. Terry R Woodson

Nuclear power is the best energy source (if managed properly), but sadly the media has frightened the public into believing every nuclear power plant is a ticking time bomb. Our society is against any alternative energy source (probably big oil's hold on our economy). If we, as a society, didn't waste so much energy we wouldn't be in the crisis we are in today.

I cant choose one, but I am going to say wind solar and hydroelectric are my top choices.

I think solar is really the best way to go, but there are many ways to get energy. If we could just increase the amount that we use all of them it would be great1

Solar. As much as I love the idea of wind farms, especially in really windy places, they also pose a serious threat to migrating birds, several of which are threatened or endangered, as well as bats, also often threatened or endangered. I hate to see one environmental problem be solved by sacrificing another aspect of the environment...

I think depending on where you call home your choice of renewable energy will be different. Yes Florida is very sunny so Solar makes total sense, and a wise one at that.

Solars great and seems the most reliable but what about wind? Wind could also be just as reliable

Solar, hands down. I live in Florida where there are gated-communities everywhere. I can't understand why HOAs have not been sold on community-solar intiatives yet. Anyone interested in brainstorming about the figures, please let me know. I am dying to get some research done about this and consider an entrepreneurial venture to implement it.
