Alternate Solar Energy Uses

How would you build an alternate energy source model using household item?
I need to find an alternate energy source to operate our transportation systems, homes, factories, or businesses. Which one would you chose? (solar energy, wind energy, tidal energy, geothermal energy, or nuclear energy?)
Geothermal doesn’t have the potential for disaster like nuclear power does, and it doesn’t make the hazardous waste either. Geothermal is the most stable supplier other than nuclear. All of the others are affected by the weather. Geothermal can be used to generate electricity as well as a heat source, which would save power for other uses.
