There is no one answer to this question. It very much depends on local conditions and needs. You can't use geothermal energy if there is no convenient source. You can't use hydroelectricity if water, or high mountains, are in short supply. Tidal energy would be great in estuaries with a good tidal flow, but it requires enormous capital expenditure. Nuclear energy has enormous drawbacks, but is likely to produce reliable energy on the large scale.

How can water and wind be harnessed to generate electricity?

They both power turbines which rotate to generate electricity. A turbine works the same way as an electric motor.


What are the alternatives to generating electricity?

The best way to produce electricity is by Solar energy . Solar energy is freely available but only thing is that the implements and instruments used to generate electricity are very costly and they are not much developed. There is also a method to generate electricity ie. by geo thermal energy In this method we can do it by the heat of earth. Thankyou
