For those that live where the wind blows relatively constantly

there are [url=http://www.bergey.com/]Home wind[/url] turbines (and the bs about them killing more birds... [url=http://www.nowtoronto.com/issues/2006-07-06/news_onthestreet.php]skyscrapers[/url] kill more than windmills ever will...)

For those that live in coastal areas with nice currents [url=http://www.discover.com/issues/dec-05/features/ocean-energy/]wave generators[/url] are another potential power source to augment or even replace bio fired power stations.

Next are new battery technologies currently in progress. And carbon nano tubes are the way of the future.

Bottom line is fossil fuel is old and outdated and nuclear is still to expensive and requires far more maintenance than the alternatives. (You have to factor in that in a nuke plant when maintenance is done, regardless what, it must be certified... humans make mistakes).
