It is any modern power system that uses fossil fuels as power.. There are only two useful types of power generation at the moment. Fossil and nuclear. The "Alternative" energy systems do not yet produce any real power. Wind and solar produce less energy then it cost (in terms of energy) to make the system. Thus these systems are actually bad for the environment and consume power to give us some of it back later.
