Alternative Energy

Energy that is produced using a method different to traditional, highly polluting fossil fuels.

These techniques include renewable energy (wind, solar, hydroelectric and tidal), nuclear energy, biofuels and hydrogen power. It is hoped that an increase in the use of alternative power will lead to a cleaner and healthier planet, combating the effects of climate change.
