Chevron and The Economist Group have teamed up to create an online game called Energyville where you can choose energy sources to power your own city and look at the results.
Basically, the key is to follow the Barbour energy policy: "all of the above." Solar, wind, and hydro help you meet the needed power levels, but you can't really succeed economically without nuclear, coal, natural gas, and oil. Just do the simple numbers: to get the amount of power modern consumers need, you need some major baseload generation.
Note for those on the Mississippi Public Service Commission: coal is very helpful to meet the economic needs of the city.
