• Alternative energy refers to ANY non-fossil fuel
energy source.
• Renewable energy refers to energy that can be
replaced when needed
• Exhaustible energy refers to energy that is limited
and cannot be replaced with used.
• Non-Renewable energy refers to energy that
CANNOT be replaced.
• Inexhaustible energy refers to energy that will
never run out.
