According to Wikipedia, Alternative energy is an umbrella term that refers to any source of usable energy intended to replace fuel sources without the undesired consequences of the replaced fuels.^[1]

The term "alternative" presupposes a set of undesirable energy technologies against which "alternative energies" are opposed. As such, the list of energy technologies excluded is an indicator of what problems that the alternative technologies are intended to address. Controversies regarding dominant forms of energy and their alternatives have a long history. The nature of what was regarded alternative energy sources has changed considerably, and today because of the variety of energy choices and differing goals of their advocates, defining some energy types as "alternative" is highly controversial.

In general, alternative energy is that which is produced without the undesired consequences of the burning of fossil fuels, such as high carbon dioxide emissions, the major contributing factor of global warming according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Sometimes, the less comprehensive meaning of "alternative energy" also excludes nuclear energy. An official use of the term in qualification for governmental incentives has excluded nuclear energy^[2], but this has not been consistent^[3].

BIOS Energy Systems can help you convert to alternative energy systems.

Alternative Energy:  Solar, Wind, Hydro, Bio Mass, Geothermal, Fuel Cell, Hydrogen, Natural Gas

Natural gas is not traditionally thought of as an alternative energy, however it can be used to power cogeneration systems that provide both heat and power and so it is included here. it also burns cleaner and more efficiently than oil, and is widely viewed as our most realistic interim solution to improving the environment.
