Geothermal - Drill a deep well. Use a refrigerant that boils at low temperatures but above ambient air temperature. Run a small turbine like Tesla Turbine. And you will power a small community till everything wears out. Or you can even go with a sterling engine. With a 50° difference you can get a house's electric worth.

(these have been blocked from anyone without govern-cement approval even researching it)

Wave - Basically build a giant paddlewheel, size of a Ferris wheel. And you have power with every wave that crashes to the shore.

(these have been blocked by all the "green peace" protesters cause they will look bad.)

Magnetic Motor - Yes these exist, but need some big money engineering put into them. They spin, but not enough torque to power a typical genset.

(people say that perpetual motion machines don't exist)

Real Solar - photovoltaic panels are really easy. Just plug them together and they go, but they are not very efficient. And quite expensive. We can use much cheaper mirrors and metal pipe and power a sterling engine or a turbine or a piston steam engine.

(every time The US funds one of these ever 20 years, and then pulls the plug just before it starts producing)

Perhaps you know something about this sort of energy I read about involving waterways as a source of renewable energy. The difference between it and solar or wind was that when the supply exceeds the demand there was no need for batteries because the system would automatically move the massive amount of water back up to the top of whatever collector they were using should there be no demand for the energy at the time.

Is this ringing any bells for you? You seem a great deal better-informed than I do on this topic so I am hoping you can help me out here.

Yep, one of my first blogs on this. I do not know why Komifornia isn't all over this.

It is like the people in charge aren't even trying... or maybe they are trying, to make sure that no one actually does anything real and good for humanity.
