But a lot of people do not want this form of energy; they think it is dangerous and so would like some other source of power. Many suggestions have been made; some of them are not very practical but others could be used successfully.  ???

It is strange to think that these sources of energy were used long ago for windmills or for watermills but then were almost forgotten. Hydro-electricity is probably the most used form of energy supplied by nature. Yet only a small part of the water energy which could be used is indeed used.
