We're constantly told wind and solar are the cheapest. But only true when windy and sunny. They don't secure the electricity system 24/7. Include their full system costs (supply & balance): New research shows they're the most expensive, here Germany (media.kotakuinaction2.win)

Solar needs a lot more development to enable higher energy transfer, ESPECIALLY for space travel since in space that will be an extremely important way to acquire energy.

Wind, that's really dependent on the environment, I can see it being more useful in mountainous areas where you get natural wind tunnels but other than that it's not sustainable enough with all costs (infrastructure, maintenance, reliability etc)

I'd have focused on tidal as that is reliable as if they weren't, we'd be more fucked that creating power is a non issue.

TANSTAAFL

Any system you remove energy from to move it somewhere else will have an effect on that system. Remove it from the wind, affect air currents and climate. Remove it from the sea, affect sea currents and sea life. All "green" solutions are bullshit.

As I said, tidal would be the more reliable solution baring going full Gundam 00 with space elevators but we're better off developing hydrogen and nuclear fusion technology while using nuclear fission in the interim.
