Wind energy and solar energy are alternative energy sources they are NOT the same, solar energy comes from the suns heat while wind energy comes from the wind. Solar energy is generally collected with solar panels while wind energy is generated when the wind turns wind mill like structures that in turn, turn turbines that generate electricity.

∙ 13y agoSolar energy comes from the sun. So does wind energy.
Fossil fuels also ultimately derived from the sun.
The only energy sources that are NOT solar are geothermal energy, which comes from heat generated by the decay of long lived isotopes deep within the earth, which were formed in some supernova long before our sun formed, and nuclear power (both fusion and fission).
Hydropower? The sun drives the water cycle.

Warming the ground (or the sea) warms the air above it. The air rises (and the pressure falls) and air from higher pressure areas move in i.e. Wind.
