- Solar Energy. Our beautiful bread and butter, solar energy.
- Wind Energy.
- Bioenergy.
- Geothermal Energy.
- Hydropower.
- Nuclear Energy.

Q. Is nuclear energy the cheapest?
Nuclear power plants are expensive to build but relatively cheap to run. In many places, nuclear energy is competitive with fossil fuels as a means of electricity generation. If the social, health and environmental costs of fossil fuels are also taken into account, the competitiveness of nuclear power is improved.
Q. Which is cheaper coal or nuclear power?
Nuclear is comfortably cheaper than coal in seven of ten countries, and cheaper than gas in all but one. At 10% discount rate nuclear ranged 3-5 cents/kWh (except Japan: near 7 cents, and Netherlands), and capital becomes 70% of power cost, instead of the 50% with 5% discount rate.
Q. What type of energy has the highest return on investment?
Types of Energy Sources Where EROI Is Measured The Association cites a study by Weissback et al. (2013), which states that “The results show that nuclear, hydro, coal, and natural gas power systems (in this order) are one order of magnitude more effective than photovoltaics and wind power.”
Q. Which country has no nuclear power plant?
As of 2016, countries including Australia, Austria, Denmark, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Estonia, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Malta, New Zealand, Norway, Philippines, Portugal and Serbia have no nuclear power stations and remain opposed to nuclear power.
