Answer:

Alternative energy sources exist in nature and can be replenished quickly. These are also known as non-conventional energy sources. Alternative energy sources do not rely on fossil fuels. They do not pollute the environment and can be consumed indefinitely without becoming depleted.

Many renewable energy sources fall into alternative or non-conventional energy sources. Solar energy, wind energy, wave energy, and geothermal energy are examples.

Benefits of Using Alternative Sources of Energy

  • Alternative energy sources do not use fossil fuels and thus do not emit greenhouse gases. 
  • They are regenerative. As a result, increasing their consumption does not exhaust them. 
  • The construction of hydroelectric dams aids in flood control. 
  • The use of solar cookers and solar water heaters aids in conserving fossil fuels. 
  • They save money because their power plants only require maintenance once installed.

Alternative sources are used to replace fossil fuels, and they emit no pollution and contribute to the reduction of global warming. Furthermore, these energy sources are renewable because they are infinite and inexpensive to operate and maintain.
