4) Alternatives to Fossil Fuels.

Renewable alternatives to fossil fuels include
Solar Photo Voltaic Power Systems (Solar Energy),
Solar Hot Water Systems, Wind Turbines, Bio-Fuel Plantations,
Hydroelectric Power, Tidal Power and Geothermal Power.

These energy sources are called renewable because they don't run out.
They can often produce cheaper electricity than burning fossil fuels,
and they are non-polluting.

Not all of the above energy sources are suited to all parts of the planet,
but in the absence of non-polluting energy yet to be discovered,
they are the power sources of the future.
