Coal is not only a finite resource but it is also bad for the environment. According to the UoCS (Union of Concerned Scientists "Air pollution from coal-fired power plants is linked with asthma, cancer, heart and lung ailments, neurological problems, acid rain, global warming, and other severe environmental and public health impacts."
Energy derived directly from the motions of the moon in relation to the earth is considered:

While not the most popular form of renewable energy, tidal energy has the potential to generate large amount of clean power.
Tidal energy is generated via tidal stream generators or by barrage generation. and relies on the motion of the ocean to get the job done.
This form of renewable energy involves the anaerobic degradation of animal and plant wastes in the presence of water:

"Biogas is a type of biofuel that is naturally produced from the decomposition of organic waste. When organic matter, such as food scraps and animal waste, break down in an anaerobic environment (an environment absent of oxygen) they release a blend of gases, primarily methane and carbon dioxide." - Home Bio Gas
