The only safe and good-for-the-environment power sources are nuclear and solar. Wind can kill off birds (didn't it lead one species to extinction somewhere?) by sucking them in, and it can alter wind currents. Hydroelectric floods areas, ruins fish migrations, etc. Tidal generators can suck in fish. Geothermal is messy, and isn't really viable because it can only be used in certain places. Coal generators release really harmful crap into the environment, oh, and CO2. Oh, and if the water used to cool nuclear power is sent back into streams, it can fuck with the fish (but it'd be easy to stop that).
Ah, the beauty that is hard-water and pebble bed reactors. I will be happy when the world switches to hydrogen for transportation (NOT FUEL CELL, just hydrogen, which is safer than gasoline), and solar and nuclear for large-scale power generation. It will be a beautiful day.
