I’m sure there are methods of generating electricity that we haven’t even stumbled on.
How would that work. Electrons are very well understood, as are the ways of getting them to move.
I think we're pretty far from the peak understanding of almost everything. There are so many discoveries still to be made.
Based on what? Sure, I'm guessing we're just starting with planetary science and cosmology, but power generation has been explored to death and we're still using the same basic alternator design as Tesla was.
