Mine are definitely wind turbines. The reason is that they are the cheapest to make, relatively reliable and all drawbacks can be worked around quite easily. I dislike solar panels because of eclipses, the research requirement and the higher cost. Thermal is great once you get it and if you have geysirs, but that's a big if and eventually your needs for power might be higher than the amount of geysirs you have.
Wind turbines have a few issues. The lockout area needs to be kept clear. Long term solution: Floors. At the start you definitely just put crops there. Also you can put solar panels there if you want to. High/low output being random is solved by batteries. If you have enough batteries to save all the energy from the moments they are running at full capacity you will generally never have an issue.
Combining all forms is probably the most reliable solution. Wind/solar will generally not fail at the same time, and even if you can reduce the drain on the batteries with thermal or fueled generators long enough for the wind to pick up or the eclipse to end.
Anyone using fueled generators? I generally never use them. I prefer to spend my components on wind turbines right away.
Also: Did human meat price get nerfed hard? I remember it being pretty high, but might have been a mod. Now it's 40% of normal meat.
