Solar power would be a good method if it could handle the power spikes we produce. That's solar energies biggest downfall. People use most of the energy at night, and that's spiking up the power usage. There's no efficient way to store the solar power for the night time. Once people find a better way to store solar energy then that industry will boom. One good thing for now is the EPA is cracking down on coal plants, so more natural gas plants are opening. Natural gas causes a lot less pollution than coal powered plants.
