alternate energy such as solar and wind power?

The island you are looking for is called SAMSOE.

I would guess the sun would be the energy in SOLAR powered anything. Solar = sun

Any non-traditional fuel. eg.\nbiofuel: such as grass for burning to get electricity.\nH2 (the gas)\nand many more

More research into alternative fuels. And replace current power plants with solar and wind.

they are nonrenewable resources.\nonce they been used once (burned) they finished with and cannot create anymore energy.\nThe world has a limited suply of these nonrenewable energy sources left.\n\nrenewable sources woud include solar (sun) wind and water power as these will never run out

Natural gas is a very good source for energy, but it is non-renewable with our current technology. \n\nHydro-electric is a viable energy source for electricty. It will always be available unless the water cycle ends.\n\nCoal is a good source for heat and power, but it does have some polluting characteristics in its natural state.\n\nNuclear is good for electricity production, steam generation and heat (from steam), it does leave residual waste, that is more concentrated radioactivity than what occurs naturally.\n\nFuel cells require power to produce but they work very well. They use readily available materials and can be scaled to the power output that is needed.\n\nGeothermal is good for heating houses and on a large scale in some areas for producing electricity. It is also a renewable power source.\n\nWind and solar are two more options that are becoming readily available for the end user. They are generally coupled with a battery system for calm periods of weather and night time.

There are many ways to take advantage of the energy produced by the sun.  A good place to start is with a passive solar energy water heater.  They are inexpensive to install and easy to maintain.  The simplest ones use the radiant energy of the sun and convert that to thermal energy using a material that absorbs the light instead of reflecting it, in layman's terms, something black.  \n\nPhotovoltaic (solar cell) systems convert sunlight directly into electricity. A solar or Photovoltaic cell consists of semiconducting material that absorbs the sunlight. The solar energy knocks electrons loose from their atoms in a semiconductor, allowing the electrons to flow through the material to produce electricity.\n\nFor a more in-depth explanation of photovoltaic technology try this site.

Get some power generators.

The easiest thing would be to switch all cars to hybrid.  Right now.  The technology is here.  Wind power now costs less than coal, but our government keeps giving money to the coal industry because of lobbyists.

Sounds feasible, but you have some homework and research to do.\nHave a look at my web page for my wind generator project for other ideas and links to get the information you need.\nhttp://members.rennlist.org/warren/wind.html

it exists but i'm not sure if u can use it for energy...it would be to strong

You can first buy the solar panels and then you get the plans from the Internet and you build such items as solar powered cars, water distillation station, etc..  The sky is the limit with solar power!!

Nothing is free.  Converting the entire energy grid to alternative fuel sources would be expensive and in some cases would require that enormous batteries be constructed to store power and distribute it during times when the alterate resource is not available (i.e when the sun stops shining on a solar power field).  We've also become accustomed to consuming a great deal of electricity and the ammount of solar, wind and other plants needed would be enormous (I'm not saying it's not well worth the effort, but studies show it won't be as quick or clean as some would lead you to believe).

There is no such thing as non-renewable energy.  Energy is simply converted from one form to another and never actually gets 'used'.\n\nThere are non-renewable SOURCES of energy however and other answerers have pointed these out.\nHydrocarbons, like coal, oil and gas are considered non-renewable because once you have converted their (stored) chemical energy in to heat energy by burning them, you will have to wait several million years before the energy is stored back in a chemical form for you to burn again.\nWind power is considered renewable since wind is a form of mechanical energy which is converted thermal energy from the sun.  We use wind turbines to control the mechanical energy of the wind and convert it into electrical energy.  The sun provides more thermal energy, which makes more wind and so the source of energy is renewed on a useful timescale.\n\nMost energy on Earth comes from the sun.  Wind is driven by the sun as I have explained.  Solar energy is obviously sun powered.  Chemical energy sources like wood, coal, gas, etc also come from the sun since plants capture the solar energy and store it in their structure as chemical energy.  This same energy is what is released by burning.\nThe most notable source of non-sun derived energy on Earth is that of the tides.  Gravitational effects between the Earth and the moon (alright, and the sun a bit) cause the tides.  Gravitational energy converted to mechanical energy.  We can use this as a renewable source as well.\n\n<flight of fancy>\nIt is theoretically possible to have so many turbines extracting energy from the wind that there isn't enough left over to keep the winds blowing, which would have rather a startling effect on regional climates.  Turn the turbnes off however and the sun would soon start things up again.\n</flight of fancy>

Do a search on this site..  \nregarding solar energy.

There is a website that sells a solar powered charger. We got one for my brother. It charges his cell phone, ipod, pda, anything.

It is possible, since electromagnetic waves carry energy, although you are not really sending electricity, more just transferring energy. Having solar collectors in space that 'beam' energy to earth via microwaves (high refrequency radio waves) has been seriously considered.\n\nAny solar panel is also converting electromagnetic waves to electricity, os the answer is definitely yes.
