Evaluate the feasibility of these energies based on several critical requirements for the energy to be sound:

1. Is the energy readily AVAILABLE?
2. Is using this energy technologically FEASIBLE (or possible)?
3. How much does it COST? Is the energy cheap?
4. Is the energy SAFE?
5. How DEPENDABLE is the energy? Does it depend on the weather or other varying conditions?
6. Is the energy SUSTAINABLE? Will it be around in 100 years?
7. Is the energy CLEAN? Are there any toxic or dangerous waste products?

(On a scale of 1-10 for each above)

Illustrate its use, key characteristics, and how well they meet the above 7 criteria for usefulness.
