The main reason to use alternative resources for energy is because the energy being used now will not last forever. It will at some point run out if alternative resources are not found. Another reason is to save money.

∙ 10y agoOur everyday energy needs all run on either electricity, or oil in our vehicles. We can stop using fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) for these and instead use electricity from renewable sources, like solar and wind. For our vehicles we can use electricity of bio-fuels like ethanol or bio-diesel.

What do you call renewable safe sources of energy?
Alternative energiesBio energiesSolar energies
Name an energy source that's unreliable?
Many alternative energy sources are not very reliable. If you use solar energy, the Sun doesn't always shine, if you use wind energy, you won't always have wind, etc. Basically this means that if you want to use alternative types of energy, you need some storage mechanism for times when there is no energy directly available.
What is the need of Non conventional machining?
The need for non-conventional machining begins with the need for alternative energy sources. Non-conventional machining requires the use of alternative energy sources including thermal energy or solar energy.
Should alternative energy be used instead of traditional energy?
Vague question. "Should" implies personal opinion. For the future of sustainability for the planet, it doesn't matter what type we use at all. In my opinion we will use what is available, and what is available is controlled by profit interests at this time. We "should" do what we have to do to survive.
