Alternative Energy
By Sarah, Jen, Julia, and Marques
What is it?
Alternative energy is any source of energy that is an alternate to fossil fuels.
What are some alternative energys?
Some alternative energys include solar panels, wind turbines, hydro power, biomass, tidal power, and geothermal heat.
Solar power
Solar power comes from solar panels that convert sunlight into energy to be used instead of fossil fuels.
Wind power
Wind power comes from wind turbines that get energy from long blades that are pushed by the wind. Wind turbines can be placed in many places.
Tidal power
Tidal energy is produced by generators which collect power from turbines placed in the water.
What does alternative energy do?
Alternative energy does not add to greenhouse emissions. Burning fossil fuels is bad for the earth and they are eventually going to run out.
