GLG Topic: Alternative Energy
Alternative Energy refers to energy sources that are not based on the burning of fossil fuels or nuclear fission. Alternative energy is derived from natural, renewable resources such as wind, sun, and water. Popular forms of alternative energy include solar, biofuels (ethanol), geothermal, coal gasification, hydro, and wind power. These energy sources typically produce less pollutants and greenhouse gases than those produced with fossil fuels.
