What are some alternative energy sources that might be used to replace fossil fuels?

What will be an ideal response?


Alternative sources for producing electricity include wind, solar, geothermal, tidal, and nuclear power. Oil could eventually be replaced by using biofuels such as ethanol (although corn-based ethanol is not a practical solution, as it requires too much energy to produce, and because it ties up land that might otherwise be used for food production).
