Fossil fuels are exhaustible. Electric energy is an alternative.


What are some examples of alternative to fossil fuels?

There are no alternatives to fossil fuels. Fossil fuels were formed by life trapping sunlight falling on Earth over time periods of hundreds of millions of years. There is no realistic alternative for this source (amount) of energy. Once these fuels are used up all we will have is a little nuclear energy and access to the day to day energy currently falling on the planet. This will not be enough to sustain our civilization. The only hope is progress with nuclear fusion energy research.
