I have considered them to be "implied" for my purposes only because I have no knowledge or interest in the different methods used by wave, tidal, hydroelectric and osmotic generators. If you do, feel free to add those to the method list. The same goes for differences in wind and geothermal technologies. Unlike the current set of tags, this proposal doesn't stop you adding further detail. It clearly separates the categories of source, output and method, and would allow further definition of each of those if you really wanted. For example you could add the different kinds of biomass source, and the different kinds of gasification. Regards, Tom -- http://tom.acrewoods.net http://twitter.com/tom_chance
