I'm a huge fan of Hydro - we already have most of the dams we need in place, may as well take advantage of them! but nope.
i understand the fish migration issue, but most places like the one near me have an elevator system and they do their best to get as many fish up and over the dam as possible.
Plus it's a great educational thing for all ages, I usually spend 3 months watching fish swim into the elevators and up to the other side.
Yes, but geothermal uses a lot less electricity than any other heating/cooling method. With a solar roof, Tesla power wall, and geothermal you can essentially be off the grid and could even get through several days without sun. I guess if you really wanted to be comfortable in all possible circumstances, additional backup gasoline generator would be good too.
Well, you don't have to be hooked into the grid if you are self-sufficient. But, if you are hooked in, then you can use your batteries to run your house during peak hours (when energy is expensive) and even sell some electricity back to the grid (for money), then at night you can recharge your batteries with less expensive energy.
Thermal and hydroelectric are pretty good too.
