Wind, solar, and biomass are all considered renewable energy sources and are expected to account for the majority of the increase in core area energy production in the near future. Nuclear energy has a controversial political and safety issues with high startup costs so it is somewhat less likely to be a major contributor in the near future. Hydroelectricity has limitations due to the availability of suitable locations and impact on aquatic ecosystems. Oil and coal are non-renewable and have been the primary source for energy production historically, but they are expected to gradually decrease in usage due to more public and regulatory pressure on greenhouse gas reduction. Human and animal power are not scalable beyond specific lab experiment or small ceremonial uses.
