Jane Said:

advantages and disadvantages of alternative energy resources?

We Answered:

In general, or specific ones? For example, wind mills are cleaner and create local jobs, but they do not produce energy without wind and some people object to seeing them.

Solar has somewhat similar issues. Try using google to get a list of alternate energy sources and then reading briefly about several of the specific sources.
