Abstract: The search for alternative sources of energy, which will not only produce a huge amount of energy, but will not lead to pollution of the environment, mankind began to think after it became clear that natural reserves of hydrocarbons are quite limited. The increasing energy needs of mankind, the deterioration of the environmental situation on the planet due to traditional methods of energy generation and the decline in the reserves of its non-renewable sources are global problems of our time. This paper provides an overview of the main alternative energy sources and a comparative analysis of their cost and efficiency. Based on the analysis, it was concluded that various alternative sources were promising.

Keywords: alternative energy, renewable resources, solar energy, wind energy, geothermal energy, ecology, environmental protection.

Pages: 82-86.
