What is alternative energy?

Explanation:
Alternative energy means energy that comes from sources other than traditional fossil fuels, usually sources that can be renewed and have a lower environmental impact. Common examples include hydroelectric power from moving water, solar power from sunlight, wind power, geothermal heat, and biomass. The idea is to use sources that can replace or supplement fossil fuels to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Energy stored in batteries isn’t a source of energy by itself—it's a way to store electricity produced by these other sources.
