This could be interpreted differently by different groups or interests. My view is that the standard methods of providing energy are by fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas) so that other sources are alternates. Some people may argue that nuclear has been established now for over forty years, so should be classed as mainline, and perhaps this is so. This argument probably also should include hydro which has been around a long time. Geothermal also, but this is so limited to suitable sites that it is a special case.
Thus I would classify alternates as: 1. Wind power 2. Solar power 3. Biomass 4. Tidal power 5. Wave power
Other ideas may be dreamed up but I think these are the most likely to be useful in the future.

This may vary slightly, but I would say anything apart from fossil fuels (coal, oil, gas) or hydro.
Petroleum is cheaper.
bioconversion
Geothermal energy uses heat from deep under the ground.
The nuclear energy is now the most important source of alternative energy.
The recent definition of a renewable energy source is that could be compensated in less than 100 years.Examples are: Solar energy, geothermal energy, biomass energy, ... etc
Usually an "alternative energy source" is one that is not now a major contributor to our energy supplies. That would make "alternative energy" anything that is not based on fossil fuels of one sort or another. Some people exclude nuclear energy from the "alternative" universe
1.source energy. 2.alternative energy.
The main alternative source of energy that Caribbean countries is solar energy. Another alternative source of energy they could use is wind energy.
No, coal is not an alternative energy source. "Alternative" energy sources means energy sources other than fossil fuels (coal, oil, and natural gas).
would coal be a good alternative energy source for louisiana
Yes.
yes it is
Yes it is, although the best form of alternative energy is conservation.
the cheapest alternative source of energy is biomass. because we can use it all and free and easy to find.
do you mean fuels? nuclear energy is the best alternative energy source.
