We would like to recommend the following website produced by Andy Darvill, a science teacher at Broadoak Community School in Weston-super-Mare.
It covers fossil, nuclear, solar, wind, tidal, hydro, pumped storage, wave, geothermal, and biomass energy generation in a clear and concise format enabling anyone interested in alternative energy to find out about alternative power generation. Included are the advantages and disadvantages of the various options, and there is even an interactive online quiz.
