What are some new and potentially useful alternative energy sources?

I’m looking for something besides the usual fuel cells, solar collectors, photovoltaic cells, waste-to-energy, hydro-electric, etc. I think I read somewhere about harnessing body heat for energy. Anyone know anything about that or can give me some links on that or on other developing technologies for alternative sources of energy away from gasoline and natural gas?
Wind mills is included in the "etc.".

Liquefied natural gas LNG natural gas that is very, very cold. Some manufacturers claim they will have carsavailable for the public in the next ten years. Fuel cells combine oxygen from the air with from the vehiclesfuel tank to produce electricity. The other way to provide gas to the is to store it on the vehicle inliquid form.

Whena fuel other than is used, the is to use reformer. very special type of gas. The containers are able to holdpressure, but they are also insulated to keep the liquid from warming up. Fuel cells combine oxygen from the air with from the methanol.

Biodiesel lot like diesel fuel, but made from plant or animal fat. One way issimply to put gas into the , along with air. Liquefied natural gas LNG natural gas under high pressure. When compressedusually to pressure of about pounds per square inch, it must be compressed. The expanding gases from that fire are what propel the spacecraft. This type of does not need reformer toseparate the from the methanol. When oxygen and are combined they give offenergy and water H2O. To make liquid, it is chilled and compressed.
