    Hi. Hydro is the most common, at least for now.

    Solar energy is responsible for all of the other kinds, so technically you could argue that it’s the ‘most common’.

    If you are referring to which energy source generates the most power, then hydro is almost definitely the winner (I don’t actually have a source to prove that, so I say ‘almost definitely’). Hydro probably provides more energy then all of the others combined.

    And of course, if you were to focus on very specific areas, then it would depend. Some places simply don’t have anywhere to put a hydro plant, so they may put windmills instead.
