Renewable energy (solar, wind, water, hydro, tidal and wave, geothermal, ocean thermal, biomass, biofuel and hydrogen) is really the same things as alternative energies.
Alternative usually means alternative to fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). So there is nothing to compare and contrast.

Is there any other energy sources that are renewable?
Sunlight and water are 2 examples of renewable sources because they will never run out.
What is the need for renewable energy in today's scenario?
In today's scenario, all other sources depleting. Hence, renewable sources should be used.
Fuels such as the wind and sun that can generate power without being used up?
Wind energy and solar energy are called renewable energy sources. Other renewable energy sources include hydroelectricity (generated by water movement) and geothermal energy.
Why use renewable energy sources?
because it is more efficiant than any other form of energy
How many sources of energy is not renewable?
Sources of energy which are not renewable are those that use up a substance to create the energy. These include fossil fuel energy (oil, gas and coal) and atomic energy (uranium and thorium).Sources of energy which are renewable are resources such as wood or other plant derived fuels. Generally included in this heading are those energy sources which are inexhaustible such as water power in its many forms, solar power, geothermal energy, and wind energy.
How does renewable source provide energy?
Wind, water, solar and other renewable sources of power can all be harnessed to generate electricity.
What are the positive aspects of using hydroelectric energy?
One advantage of using hydroelectric energy is that it is a renewable source of energy. Other positive aspects include a guarantee in energy and price stability as well as its feasibility in utilizing other renewable sources.
Why is wind power a renewable energy source?
Wind power is described as a renewable energy source because winds are produced by the suns thermal energy and this is never going to fail or need other sources of energy.
What are the positive aspects of using hydroelectricity?
One advantage of using hydroelectric energy is that it is a renewable source of energy. Other positive aspects include a guarantee in energy and price stability as well as its feasibility in utilizing other renewable sources.
What are unconventional energy sources?
Unconventional Energy not to be confused with renewable energy. For the US unconventional energy sources are: nuclear(which is not for many other countries, e.g. France), bio-fuels, solar, geothermal and wind.
What are the views of members of the general public to the use of renewable energy resource to supply electricity or other useful forms of energy?
i think that we should use renewable sources of energy because they are abduntaly available and safer to use
When do the transition from fossil fuels to other energy sources occur?
Fossil fuels will some day run out, so the only means of energy will be from renewable sources. The use of biofuels is rapidly growing, but petroleum is source for most of the fuel for our cars. So, we are transitioning, but not very fast. Renewable energy sources have been significant contributors to our energy needs for decades, primarily in hydroelectric power from dams. The US governmental agencies are encouraging people to use energy efficiently and increase the supply of energy from renewable sources. See related link. You can also find information on each of the renewable energy sources (wind, hydroelectric, solar and biofuels) by searching the internet.
