1. Alternative Energy By: Tyler Nealey and Ian Wildes “Alternative energy refers to energy sources that have no undesired consequences such for example fossil fuels or nuclear energy. Alternative energy sources are renewable and are thought to be "free" energy sources. They all have lower carbon emissions, compared to conventional energy sources. These include Wind Energy, Solar Energy,and Hydroelectric Energy sources. Demand for low carbon emissions has gone so far that companies are now even manufacturing lower carbon emission.”Wind EnergySolar Energy Hydroelectric Energylower carbon emission

2. Solar energy Solar Energy is better for the environment than traditional forms of energy. Solar energy has many uses such as electricity production and heating of water through photovoltaic cells and directly for drying clothes. http://www.ask.com/pictures?qsrc=167&o=1 5447&l=dis&q=solar%20panels

3. Wind Energy Wind energy is a major component of our plan to eliminate the use of fossil fuels in this region for several reasons. A wind energy system transforms the kinetic energy of the wind into mechanical or electrical energy that can be harnessed for practical use. http://www.etfinancial.com/wind.htm

4. Hydroelectric Energy Hydroelectric energy generation provides a method for creating electricity from a renewable resource, while generating very little pollution. A hydroelectric power plant uses the force of falling water from a reservoir to turn a turbine that drives a generator. http://www.williams.edu/Geoscience/greenen ergy/galleries/hydroelectric/pages/00070.htm
