How would you describe the energy source what it is how it work?
describe how a alternative energy source works
What is the definition for alternative energy source?
Usually an "alternative energy source" is one that is not now a major contributor to our energy supplies. That would make "alternative energy" anything that is not based on fossil fuels of one sort or another. Some people exclude nuclear energy from the "alternative" universe
Which department would oversee the use of an alternative energy source such as fuel for vehicles?
Department of Energy
Is wind alternative energy source practical for uses in business homes or schools today?
Yes, if there is sufficient wind source for the area that would be a great alternative.
Why would the use of alternative source of energy be beneficial to the Earth and its people?
It would utilize renewable energy sources and create less pollution
What department would oversee the use of an alternative energy source such as fuel for vehicles?
It depends which country you are referring to
What is a benefit for using alternative resources?
An alternative resource, just as the term implies is a source of something which is different from the most common source. For example the most common source of automotive fuel is fossil fuels pumped from the ground, however it is possible to make automotive fuel from corn oil or from sugar. These would be alternative resources. These will help people in the future!
What is one kind of alternative energy source you would use in a home and why?
Geothermal, because it is one of the easiest to use and install.
What alternative energy resource can be captured by the sails of ships and originates from solar energy?
That would be wind! Wind is a renewable energy source (it can generate electricity). Wind also has its origins in solar energy.
What would be an alternative energy source for heating and cooking and how would it protect the environment?
Electricity generated from renewable sources (solar, wind, water etc) would be an alternative energy source and would easily cover cooking and heating. It would protect the environment by reducing the amount of fossil fuel burnt, and also because it has no dangerous carbon dioxide emissions that are causing global warming.
What alternative energy source would be expected to be the least dependent upon the weather?
Geothermal energy would be the renewable energy least dependent on the weather. Heat from underground is used to produce steam and generate electricity.
Would ocean energy help reduce the use of nonrenewable resources?
Any alternative energy source can help achieve this. The question is whether you can find a practical way to use such energy.
