Or this?
Did you know that you can now make solar powered hydrogen fuel from biowaste in your backyard, or the solution from Point Source Power, a startup of Berkley National Labs that can take biomass and heat it over cooking re that generates the gas needed to make a hydrogen fuel cell. Even the volatility of hydrogen fuel tanks have been addressed with nanoparticles of magnesium sprinkled through a matrix of polymethyl methacrylate, which is a plexiglass polymer. It basically means that it can access the hydrogen at modest temperatures without oxidizing the metal of the tank. You can shoot a bullet through it and all it will do is smolder... It may solve the EV infrastructure problem now that cant keep up with demand, but you dont hear too much about this other than in rural areas where people cant afford the $5 gas!

Less is More
Our hearts use only 0.2v to pump over 2000 gallons of blood through its 4 chambers daily. The only battery it needs is a biochemical reaction of Potassium, Sodium and a little bit of Calcium. No wires, no batteries, and no dirty energy plants. We now have the technology to mimic this process and much, much more...

A half degree temperature or pH differential between inner and outer cell walls are enough for most biochemical processes to generate energy. For example, The pH differential between the soil and the tree generates enough energy to ll a coconut 60-100 feet above with water. So how come our pumps dont work this way?

Penn States Bruce Logan and Younggy Kim, developed a microbial reverse electrodyalysis electrolysis fuel cell with a nanolter that can take everyday wastewater and generate unlimited Hydrogen Fuel using less than 1% of the energy generated.

Pressure
We already know about wave powered ships, but have you thought about the ongoing pressure differential between the water and the ship even when its docked. There are thousands of ships docked worldwide, that can not only generate its own power, but actually produce a surplus just by sitting on the water.

Dan Nocera and his team at MIT have developed an articial photosynthesis leaf that can generate 10X the storage within 1/100 of the volume of commercial fuel cell. A swimming pool full of water (3.2 million liters) for example can generate over 43TW (Terrawatts) per second using his solution.

Materials
Organic photonics and nano electronics like these nano scale solar cells can be sprayed as dust on clothing or other porous surfaces to generate enough power for proximal appliances like lights and electronics.

Wind farms disrupt delicate ecosystems and communities where they are placed. They use oil to drive the turbines and are already invested on oild and gas for their existence. The noise and vibrations are harmful to the biosphere, and the tech is already old compared to bladeless Tesla turbine inspired solutions at the local level. Its Greenwashing at its best.

This is a picture of the mouth of a 7-year-old boy named Ryan Massey who has the misfortune of living in a coal mining area in West Virginia. [Ryan's] entire family tries to avoid any contact with the water. [His brother] has scabs on his arms, legs and chest where the bathwater polluted with lead, nickel and other heavy metals caused painful rashes. [Ryan's] teeth were capped to replace enamel that was eaten away. Neighbors apply special lotions after showering because their skin burns. Tests show that their tap water contains arsenic, barium, lead, manganese and other chemicals at concentrations federal regulators say could contribute to cancer and damage the kidneys and nervous system...
