Alternative energy is any kind of energy that is not oil or hydrocarbon based. Not all alternative energy is renewable but there are a lot of renewable energy sources we could be using. Some forms of alternative energy are even good for the environment and it’s these renewable alternative energy sources we really need to be looking at.

I suspect we will have viable solar powerd cars in the next ten years. At least viable enough to be used around town. I expect range will be fairly limited and their won’t be much luxury to the cars but the will be solar powered. They will be the Model A of solar powered cars and like the gasoline powered cars will just get better and better. I expect them to be ultra light cars with no more than two seats, no AC or heater to start with. Just your basic transportation for around towns and smaller cities. Just keep watching the news about solar powered cars and you can be the first to get one in a few years.
