(*_*)ALTERNATE ENERGIES(*_*)

In this day in age people are trying to find a new way of living. Things have got to the point where we as a people need alternate sources because we have abused the ones we already had. The main issue I am talking about is alternate energy. Over the years we as a people abuse oil and now we have relied on it so much it is now damaging us environmentally and economically. Now people are discovering new ways to supply energy without as much harm or money. If we don't our planet could be in great danger!
One issue that I feel is a main problem is gas and it's high prices. People are paying more and more money to drive and it'd becoming chaos. People are driving to work and most of their money is going to gas just to back and forth. To make matters worst the cars are polluting our atmosphere. Luckily scientist have found a way to make cars more efficient gas wise and less pollutant. These vehicles are ran by solar energy. Solar energy is when sunlight is converged into electricity. The sunlight charges the car so it can have have a enough power to run properly for while. This greatly cuts down the use of gas. Over gas will be in less demand and the price will eventually go down.
Another way that solar energy is effective is through wind turbines. Wind turbines are similar to fans. The difference is it does the complete opposite. Instead of using electricity to give wind it takes wind and turns it into energy. This energy can be used to make more electricity that can be used in our everyday lives. These things can cost lower then $1ooo. They can also make you money. If you generate energy and you make more then you use yur electric company can give you a check because they used your energy.
Another type of energy is called geothermic energy. This energy is used from deep in the earth from heat. The water that comes up from the earth is is very hot. This is because the core of the earth could get as ot as 9000 degees hot. The steam from the water can be used to generate electricity. The heated water can also be used to heat houses, grow food, hot springs etc...
