alternative energy
(redirected from energy, alternative)

    Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

alternative energy

Any of various renewable power sources to use in place of fossil fuels and uranium. Fusion devices (see nuclear fusion) are believed by some to be the best long-term option, because their primary energy source would be deuterium, abundant in ordinary water. Other technologies include solar energy, wind power, tidal power, wave power, hydroelectric power, and geothermal energy. The amount of energy in such renewable and virtually pollution-free sources is large in relation to world energy needs, yet at present only a small portion of it can be converted to electric power at reasonable cost.

alternative energy
a form of energy derived from a natural source, such as the sun, wind, tides, or waves
