The "first quantitative, scientific evaluation of the proposed, major, energy-related solutions" came out this month. Via Worldchanging:
Here is how Jacobson ranks the renewables, from best to worst: 1. Wind power
2. concentrated solar power (CSP)
3. geothermal power
4. tidal power
5. solar photovoltaics (PV)
6. wave power
7. hydroelectric power
8. a tie between nuclear power and coal with carbon capture and sequestration (CCS)
How would this ranking change for DIY-ability? In other words, if you assume no link to any electric grid, which power sources look best and in what order?
For argument's sake, assume you're in a magical location on the coast with consistently strong winds and lots of sunlight:)

关于可再生能源排名的看法
这个月 Via Worldchanging提出了《计量基础上科学的对能源方面问题主要草案的评估》：
雅各布森是这样将可再生能源排名的, 按优劣自上而下:
1. 风能
2. 聚热式太阳能发电能源(CSP)
3. 地热能
4. 潮汐能
5. 光伏(PV)
6. 波能
7. 水力发电能
8. 核能综合二氧化碳捕获和存储 (CCS)
如果您可以按照自己的意愿改变这个排序，您会怎么排？就是说，如果假定这和电力无关，那么您认为哪个发电设备看起来更好，该怎么排序？为了评论者方便，评论者可以假象自己在一个魔幻海滨，那里风力强劲而且日光充足。:)
