- Tidal:
- Wind: doubled its installed wind power capacity each year from 2005-2007. 8th largest wind power producer in the world.
- HEP: Large potential due to many rivers and mountains. 12% global resources - number 1 in world. 16% china's energy prodcution
- France

- Oil: Imports most oil needs.
- Nuclear Power; 2nd largest producer in world. 59 power plants.
- HEP: used for over 100yrs. 2000 stations. Supply reduced from 50% to 14% due to increase in demand but no viable sites to develop.
