Whenever I try to play my old colonies from Alpha 1 in Alpha 2 it starts loading then the entire screen becomes white and the game never finishes loading. Please help! Although new colonies that I just created work fine.

Here is a screenshot of the problem.

It's been stated, in quite a few places in fact, that the Alpha 2 can NOT load saves from earlier than Alpha 2. The same issue occurs when you uninstall a mod that has already changed the save file, or install a mod that changes certain game files.

This is caused by the save file attempting to call an object or terrain that either does not exist, requires extra information that the save file doesn't contain, or the save file contains extra information that the object/terrain can not handle. As of right now, there's no function to update old save files, however, Ludeon is working to change the way save files are handled to fix this issue, but as of right now, it's not the highest priority.
