Powering the world with its simple usage is the wind energy.

I can't recall when (approx a year ago) or where I saw this, but it was an investor debate on implementing wind energy producing technology (turbine/mills). The reason most investors don't buy into it is because the cost of maintenance and implementation is very high especially in meeting Canada's consumption demand.

Aside from that, I think solar power on its own is more powerful. If every house roof was covered with solar panels we would save a lot on energy.

If we combined solar, wind and water energy technologies I think we would be able to sufficiently handle Canada's population and consumption demands. The problem is that it's an all or nothing idea, everyone has to conform since the energy savings only take effect on a mass level, similar to recycling.
