There's quite a bit of off-shore wind. Americans don't seem to pay any 
attention to that, but back when I was driving from the Netherlands to 
France we drove past lots of on-shore wind turbines, and off-shore 
wind-farms are even less controversial. The Danes are quite enthusiastic 
about them.

And the UK has nuclear reactors - which turn out to offer remarkably 
expensive power, but if you wanted atom bombs that was the cheapest way 
of getting lots of plutonium.
