Is hydroelectric power the least widely used energy source today?

I don't know for certain but I expect wind power is the least widely used (wave power and tidal power are not used commercially at all yet, I believe). A lot depends on your definition of 'widely used'. Do you mean megawatts generated in a given time?

Is this true or false hydroelectric power is the least widely used source of renewable energy in the world today?
It is false that hydro is the least widely used. There are many renewable energy sources, and hydro power is one of the most commonly used, with many installations all over the world. Unconventional renewable power sources that have been used include such ideas as extracting energy from the impact of people's feet as they walk on sidewalks, which is just one of many examples of sources less commonly used than hydro.
What is a circuit with a source of energy and at least one conductor called?
are you dum?a circuit with a source of energy and at least one conductor is blah.
Why don't all utility companies in the US use the least expensive energy source to generate power?
The least expensive energy source causes too much pollution
What energy source contributs the least to climate change?
Geothermal
Which source of energy is least damaging to environment?
coal
Which of our energy source is the least costly for us to use?
fossil fuels are the least costly for us to use.
How widely is nuclear energy used?
There are 104 operating nuclear reactors in the US and at least 400 world wide.
Why lighting is not a conventional source of energy?
A conventional source of energy would be one that has been in use for quite a while - say, for a few decades at least, and on a sufficiently large scale. This is not the case with lightning.A conventional source of energy would be one that has been in use for quite a while - say, for a few decades at least, and on a sufficiently large scale.

Which energy source contributes the least to climate change?
the answer to this is geothermal
What alternative energy source would be expected to be the least dependent upon the weather?
Geothermal energy would be the renewable energy least dependent on the weather. Heat from underground is used to produce steam and generate electricity.
Which source of energy has the least impact on the environment?
wind energyif you read careful it's a joke :)
What energy source generates the least gases?
Renewable energy produces practically no greenhouse gases, compared to fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). Hydroelectric power has very little greenhouse gas emissions associated with it. Wind and solar power tend to have low emissions. Geothermal energy also has low emissions. Nuclear power has some greenhouse gas emissions associated with the mining and refining of uranium ore, but not a lot.
