most of the rivers that are able to be damned for hydro power have been, and even though it is a "clean" energy source, it does wreck fish populations because it makes it harder for them to migrate up and down the river to spawn. Also, solar power only works in the daytime unless you use some of the power to generate steam to create power that way, I believe a solar plant in France does this to supply power at night, and wind only works when the wind is blowing, and that isn't all the time and to get more energy to need bigger windmills. Nuclear is good, but the lobbyists won't let them build more without a big fight and then of course you have to store the waste. If we can make a fusion plant (like the sun) instead of fission plants like we have that would solve a lot of problems. At least under my understanding (which is very very very limited) of fusion power.

In US waters, there is enough natural gas to power the US for 3000 years at the rate of consumption right now. Even though I don't know about other countries, especially since the US has so much coastline and all, if other countries have similar amounts, but that is more than enough to power the US whoever the corporations decide to sell it to for a long time. have you ever heard of the Bermuda Triangle? The reason so many ships and planes disappear there is because natural gas escapes from the ocean floor in big plumes of gas, if a ship is above it, the ship will lose buoyancy and sink and if a plane is over head, the engines will fail.
