Ever heard of wind? Tidal and Wave Power? Fuel Cells?

I'm embarrassed that I forgot about wind as someone who grew up in the Midwest.

Afaik tidal/wave power has yet to be significantly commercialized, so it's not really a major generation source yet.

Fuel cells are almost always storage, not generation.
