What is the most effective form of renewable energy?
Wind power is the most cost-effective way for HHP to produce renewable energy, generating power at about half the price/kWhr compared to the photovoltaics. It uses minimal land, has very low embodied energy and can be easily decommissioned at the end of its life. For other sites this may not be the case, but in general wind power is very cost-effective compared to other forms of renewable energy.
