This is a great article on renewable energy choices. I would like to add one more; probably honestly overlooked renewable energy source. That is generated waste streams by human beings. Tne “Landfills” most cities empluy for refuse disposal are an excellent source of fuel feedstock for gasification technologies which may be employed for electrical production as well as the production of synthetic fuels. This certainly qualifies as a renewable energy feedstock source and applied technology renders renewable energy and fuels.

[…] For a little background, geothermal energy is thermal energy that comes from the earth. Deep below us, the earth is very hot — we can capture some of that heat as it rises towards us and make use of it for human heating and electricity needs. Geothermal energy is clean, widely available, and consistent/stable. (Slightly more info on geothermal energy and other renewable energy sources is available on our new renewable energy sources page.) […]
