Many kinds of alternative energy sources are in the wind these days, like wind power! This is not meant to be a joke, however. There are many different kinds of alternative energy
sources that have the potential to be discovered daily, and many are, whether by accident or by design.
In fact, now there are sources such as wave power(power generated by wave movement), human foot power (power generated by people walking on sidewalks), and I've even heard of power generated from dancing on the floor in a dance club. One family I saw on the Internet uses an old stationary bicycle to charge batteries. In middle America, small farms
use their own recycled cooking oil to run machinery. Other forms of reusable fuel sources such as
methane related products and biomass energy sources are also used to run equipment.
Composting toilets and other organic compost can be used for fuel as well, after
being treated and cleaned.
We perhaps know of other alternative energy sources of late: solar energy, wind energy, biomass energy, and
geothermal energy. The list is far from over, and will keep growing, hopefully. However, which of
these energy sources will stay and be put to good use, and which ones will prove to be ineffective or difficult to render remains a question that will long be
held into the future. One thing is for sure - most of these sources are
cleaner than the dirty coal we've lived with for generations. Unfortunately, we may keep using coal into the future, even though it has many
shortcomings. Let's hope not, though.
There is one last question for this blog: what kind of energy sources are good
and clean enough to spend time and money developing? Hey, the answer
might just be with you! If you invent the newest alternative energy source, you will definitely become rich and famous!
