Then you should do some research, because in most places fossil fuels and nuclear are the only viable options. If you live near the equator and are happy with having power only on sunny days, and you're rich, you can instead use arsenic and cadmium to get expensive solar power. You'll be dumping a lot of toxins into the environment, but you can do it. About 1% of the population live in areas where you can use wind power on some days. For the vast majority, the two choices are fossil fuels and the clean, efficient, but slightly scary nuclear choice.
