Geothermal and hydro energy are two options I didn't consider but would be my next choice aside from nuclear. A hydro dam can produce shitloads of energy when put in the right spot, but you're relying on tides and a constant flow of water into the lake behind the dam.

For example, when I went to Las Vegas we also visited Hoover Dam. There I learned that, for one, not a single watt of power produced there goes to Las Vegas, though it's one of the closest cities in the region. Most of the power in fact goes out of state. Never got around to asking why that is exactly.

Also the water level of Lake Mead has been dropping significantly. It's not filling quick enough and they predict that, at the current rate of consumption, the lake will be completely empty by 2020.

Windmills however have the most shit efficiency of any power producing means out there. It costs like 4 - 7 million euro to build just 1 windmill. That one windmill can only power a few hundred households, meaning that entire windmill farms are needed to power a small town. I dunno, but if you build 70 of those mills, you could have spend that money on building two nuclear power plans and still have money to spare. In fact, if they would have put the combined budget of 1 windmill park into cold fusion research, they would be done by now!
