Answer:Funding for alternative energy research often changes with the cost of fossil fuels. It is also influenced by investments in stopping pollution and conserving natural resources. For example, an energy crisis in the 1970s led to more funding for oil alternatives.

Research for alternative energy sources have been positively affected, because of other reasons (excluding those EliteAnswers listed), such as:

1) Renewability: This means that resources are replaced as fast as they are used, meaning that they would not run out

2) Cleaner: Most alternative energy would not have the effect of polluting the earth after it is used, and may be easier to clean (if even need to)

hope this helps
