Alternative Energy

Concept:
Alternative energy – which is used as an alternative to fossil fuels – is a form of energy derived from natural sources, which differs relatively from renewable energy in that it includes renewable energy sources such as sun, wind, geothermal heat, rain, and running rivers, in addition to its reliance on non-renewable sources with minimal damage. environment, such as nuclear energy.

But both – alternative energy and renewable energy – share reliance on natural resources that do not harm the environment, while also sharing the advantages of being sustainable sources that do not run out and do not cause any harm to the planet, as well as the commonality between them and renewable energy in the form of assistance In reducing and mitigating some of the environmental damage resulting from the extraction and consumption of fossil fuels, represented by the release of harmful gases such as carbon monoxide resulting from burning oil and coal, which leads to air pollution, and increases global warming in the long term, which in turn leads to the problem of climate change.
