Alternative energy power is crucial for the health of the planet.
Alternative energy which is clean, renewable and sustainable can come in a variety of forms, deriving from several natural sources. Wind and solar power are the best known of the alternative energy power sources, but there is also geothermal power that is tapped from beneath the earth - hot springs and geysers are good areas for accessing geothermal power. Hydro power which is environmentally friendly is a good source, too. If small scale hydropower plants are situated on small rivers or creeks and they operate cleanly, then they are a marvellous source of clean, green power. Power can be harnessed from the movement of the ocean waves, too, and, as in the case with hydro-power, if it is a clean, environmentally friendly operation then minimal damage is done to the environment, flora and fauna.
