The best is Geothermal, but that does not work well everywhere. Geothermal is a closed system, a circuit of water pipes that go deep in the ground. The heat deep under ground turns the water to steam, then the steam comes up and turns a turbine generator to make electricity, then the steam cools down back into water and goes back deep into the ground. It never runs out, it is clean, it does not pollute anything, and it works very well.

A solar panel, just building the solar panel puts out more pollution than it would ever be able to save in its whole lifetime of energy production. So solar panels are actually more harmful than just using some clean form of fossil fuel like Natural Gas. They need to mine all kinds of rare elements and materials to put into the solar panels. And this makes these rare elements get spread all over the land and water, and even into the plants. And some of these materials are deadly to the whole ecosystem.

Nuclear power is extremely clean, efficient, and effective. I think it is one of the best forms of energy. It can efficiently create enough electricity to power very large cities and areas of land. The only problem we need to solve with that is finding a clean safe way to dispose of the used up nuclear materials.
