Alternative Energy

Alternative energy refers to energy sources that are considered alternatives to traditional fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and natural gas. These sources are typically renewable and more sustainable, aiming to reduce environmental impact and dependence on finite resources. Common forms of alternative energy include solar power, wind power, hydroelectric power, geothermal energy, and biomass. Unlike fossil fuels, alternative energy sources often produce little or no greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to a reduction in climate change and promoting cleaner air and water. The shift towards alternative energy is driven by the need for energy security, environmental concerns, and the pursuit of sustainable development.
