The problem is those forms of energy arent that cheap or easy. If they were they would have been put into widespread use long ago. Collecting energy from wind turbines for instance isn't difficult but the storage, disimenation and reliability is. Usable geothermal energy is mostly found in remote places. hydroelectricity is hardly not already extensively used in areas condusive to its use.

The way to go would be nuclear but that seems to be against the environmentalists code.
