BAD WE COULD ALL DIE ^ who ever awnsered that is stupid, alternative energy is helping the world because we r not taking anything from the earth or wearing it out, we r sharing it normal ways and it is giving us life.
Dependence on fossil fuels causes environmental damage.
Dependence on fossil fuels causes environmental damage.
Exhaustible sources are natural resources that can be depleted over time, such as fossil fuels (oil, coal, natural gas) and minerals. These sources are finite and not easily replenished at the rate they are consumed, leading to potential scarcity and environmental impacts when exhausted. It is important to find alternative, sustainable sources of energy to reduce reliance on exhaustible sources.
it uses energy
Burning Coal
Environmental dangers caused by dependence on fossil fuels
No, coal is not an alternative energy source. "Alternative" energy sources means energy sources other than fossil fuels (coal, oil, and natural gas).
Yes, hydroelectric could power a city. The issue with most green energy sources is cost and inability to obtain uninterrupted power on demand. Hydroelectric does not have these limitations. It does have some negative environmental impacts, just as all energy sources do.
an alternative to electric like solar power
The majority of alternative energy sources were put in place by Mannvit Engineering. Currently the most common sources of alternative energy in Iceland are geothermal energy and hydroelectric energy. Mannvit is still exploring other alternative energy sources to be implemented throughout Iceland and the rest of the world.
Developing alternative energy sources reduce your need for oil and coal, primarily.
The answer depends on how to define alternative energy sources.Alternative energy sources may be typically and interchangeably for renewable energy sources.If this is the case then the five energy sources used as alternative are:Solar,Wind,Biomass,wave, andTidal alternate energy sourcesAlternative energy sources may be defined as sources of usable energy intended to replace fuel sources without undesired consequences of replaced fuels Typically excluding fossil fuels and nuclear energy). If this is the case then the five energy sources used as alternative are:Coal as alternative to wood,Petroleum as alternative to whale oil,Alcohol as alternative to fossil fuel,Coal gasification as alternative to expensive petroleum, andRenewable energy as alternative to nonrenewable energy.For more details it may be referred to:http:/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_energy
