There is really only a few truly clean & rewewable energy sources: mainly Hydro & Geothermal. The rest lack the energy density required to offset their huge input costs, or environmental costs associated with rare earth mining.
Geothermal is excellent if your country has access to the right plate tectonics. Hydro is awesome if you have natural water flows to depend upon. Fun fact, Geothermal is like nuclear in a way, it's harvesting the heat energy from decaying radioactive within the earth's mantle to heat water and drive turbines. It's nature's nuclear reactor.
Both of these sources also work great for baseload, but if you are not able to access these, your only viable options are Fossil fuels & Nuclear. Solar & wind are gimmicks, they aren't clean, merely shifting the pollution burden elsewhere, ie. China, which eventually comes into the atmosphere due to their heavy reliance on fossil fuels. So while you may think you are doing good for the world & environment by installing roof top solar panels, you're just a victim of capitalism hijacking of the environmental movement and end up doing more harm than good.
