That rules out coal, oil and natural gas power stations.Environmentally friendly power stations do not have dangerously radioactive waste that we have not really discovered how to safely store. That rules out nuclear power stations.The remaining power stations:Hydro-electric (dams, rivers, tides and ocean waves)Wind (wind turbines and wind mills)Solar (Solar photovoltaic and solar thermal power plants)Geothermal (using heat from deep under the ground)are only producing a fraction of the world's electricity. Scientists and inventors are working all over the world to discover and perfect better, cheaper and more efficient ways of harvesting electricity from all those environmentally friendly and renewable sources. so in all words hydro-electric or solar is the most environmentally friendly.
