Sources of fossil  fuels are running  low The use  of fossil  fuels is slowly draining world wide supplies  and incinerating  them causes  a greta number  of hazards  to the environment  – there is no way to dodge  both of these issues  unless we rid ourselves of them entirely and take advantage of alternative  energy technology. There are many  choices  to burning  carbon based fuels as a category  of  power .

Solar energy is one of the best  options since that energy  comes from the sun and there is a enough energy to power the planet a 1000  times over. Wind  energy  too has its advantages  and can be  created   through windmills  that generate electrical energy as well there is marine energy for example energy made by the waves and the tides.

There are other alternative  energy  technology choices , but the three  mentioned previously are the top ones and the only ones ready to use today  that have the promise  to develop into something actually amazing.

Solar power is environmentally friendly energy technology that is being used well today. For centuries  it has been known that the sun can be used to produce power however, in the early 1900’s carbon based  fuels were inexpensive and plentiful  and so they became very widley used . We have been using fossil fuels too  quickly and they are running low , so we must turn to alternative energy technology .

There is a strong argumnet to suggest that we could power our whole  society  by utilising  the solar energy with the proper  technologies. Solar collectors are environmentally friendly technology that is being used by many people worldwide to heat water for showering and washing. This technology has many advantages – it produces hot water in times of electricity shortage, and it is a more economical  option to electricity too.

It is a good  idea to make use of this technology now because solar collectors will prove to be more and more economical as   electricity prices increase in the future (due to the shortages of fossil fuels). On top of this, the environmental effects of using solar power is great – instead of burning fossil  fuels and causing pollution, your power will come from the suns rays  (a resource that continually replenishes itself).

Wind power  is another great alternative energy technology and has proven to be a great success in the past. For centuries  windmills were used to mill food grain and pump water, and were even used as a source of electricity in Europe in the late nineteenth  century . But wind power as been seen as a potential  energy production  source in the last ten years  and large numbers of  scientists agree that this is one of the best ways to power the globe without conventional electricity. There are wind farms spread  throughout the globe that are making use of renewable  energy technology. The technology works like this: three blades are attached to a rotor and when the wind blows the blades spin the rotor and this allows energy to be produced – it is a rather simpleconcept but works well. The only problem with wind power is that for the technology to work there has to be wind and some places in the world do not have strong enough   wind. However, this technology will work extremely in places like Wales in the United Kingdom and in North Dakota here in the United States, as well as the off shore locations in many countries. 

Alternative energy technology for marine energy is heretofore being researched and developed fully, but there is some evidence to suggest that this technology works too. It will just take a bit more time until marine energy is in the mainstream, like that of solar power and wind power.
