Alternative Energy
Alternative energy refers to energy sources that are renewable, also known as clean energy. These sources range from solar, wind, geothermal and hydroelectricity, to biogas, biomass and biofuel, among others. These types of energy are important for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and the preservation of the environment, as they don't require the burning of fossil fuels which are responsible for much of the air pollution. Additionally, they can be used to generate electricity and heat, and to power transportation. Finally, alternative energy is a source of jobs in the manufacture and maintenance of equipment, and can also provide economic growth in rural and remote areas.
