There is a source of energy that is more friendly to the environment that has not been looked into yet such as using the force from the waves to power everything that fossil fuels are being used currently to power and you could use wind power as well to make a better alternative to fossil fuels
Nuclear Energy
Geothermal Energy
Tidal Energy
Solar energy (includes wind, waves, PV systems, Hydroelectric and bio-fuels).
--------NOTE)
Fossil Fuels are "fossil" bio-fuels - fossil sunlight.
Any of the other types of fuel! This includes nuclear energy (fission, and once we manage to do that, fusion), wind energy, hydraulic (water) energy, solar energy, geothermal energy, and many others.

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
Alternative energy usually means any energy source other than fossil fuels. That includes solar energy, wind power, and geothermal energy.
Energy from the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) is non-renewable.
Nuclear energy does not come from fossil fuels
Fossil fuels. This includes petroleum and coal.
No. Alternative energy means energy sources other than fossil fuels.
Alternative Energy
No, coal is not an alternative energy source. "Alternative" energy sources means energy sources other than fossil fuels (coal, oil, and natural gas).
Dependence on fossil fuels causes environmental damage.
Dependence on fossil fuels causes environmental damage.
Fossil fuels are exhaustible. Electric energy is an alternative.
No. Alternative refers to resources that are not fossil fuels (the existing energy resources). Renewable energies like solar, wind and hydro are known as alternative sources of energy.
Fossil fuels.
Mainly two reasons. (1) The fossil fuels will eventually be used up. (2) Fossil fuels cause pollution.
No. Alternative refers to resources that are not fossil fuels (the existing energy resources). Renewable energies like solar, wind and hydro are known as alternative sources of energy.
Because by using alternative energy sources, we cut down on the use of fossil fuels, which are bad for the environment and will run out with overuse.
Solar energy is a potential alternative for fossil fuels. It is a renewable source of energy and will be available as long as the sun lasts.
