Alternate sources of energy are sources that are notfossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
Alternate sources are all the renewable energy sources (solar, wind, water, hydro, tidal and wave, geothermal, ocean thermal, biomass, biofuel and hydrogen).

"Alternative", not alternate, which is the verb form. It's a very poor term when left hanging, like calling a person "vulnerable" without naming the hazard, and sadly typical of the way in which the debate has been so debased, along with nonsense like "zero carbon".
