As much as everyone wants to shift to renewable energy, there are certain things that are refraining them to do it. The switch to renewable energy will be difficult for many countries. When converting from one power plant to another, it can take time as new plants and infrastructure are introduced in order to avoid problems with electrical overloads or blackouts, which could potentially cause chaos among the population at large.
Making the switch to renewable energy doesn’t simply mean that a group of individuals chooses new ways for powering their homes, it means entire companies need to reevaluate how they make money and where they source their energy. It would require millions or public buildings like schools and transport centers to adjust, a process which may not happen overnight.
There are certain factors that are stopping us from using more renewable energy and they are as follows,
High Expenses
High cost is the issue that’s holding back businesses from switching over to renewable energy sources like solar or wind. For example, most fossil fuel plants rely on coal as their main ingredient and it will take clear plans before they can start using clean fuels such as natural gas in order for economies not only to create predictability but also attract new investments with low costs – which ultimately helps everyone.
Convenient to use
Fossil fuels have a ready-made quality that sets them apart from other energy sources. Fossil fuel can be accessed anytime, anywhere. Fossil fuel can be accessed anywhere, anytime because there is no need for cooperative weather or time of day when using this type of power generation method as opposed to solar energy.
May Cause Pollution
The use of some renewable energy sources can lead to pollution. Biomass, such as burning plants for power generation and gas production (biogas), is one such polluting source that needs consideration when using clean technologies like this in an effort on behalf of our environment.
Its Unpredictable
Renewable energy is also not completely reliable even though it’s sustainable. We cannot control when we receive our power and how much of the time, but this shouldn’t stop us from trying to make an effort for renewable sources like wind turbines or solar panels in order to reduce greenhouse gases which would otherwise contribute greatly towards global warming.
In the future, renewable energy sources may be more prevalent than they are now. However, there is still a long way to go before this becomes true for everyone in every part of world-wide economies and politics can play their role as well by creating policies that will lead us into a cleaner tomorrow.
Mentioning some obstacles such as cost aren’t barriers anymore because it’s becoming less expensive year after year thanks largely to technological advancement which helps make sure we have enough resources today rather than worrying about what could happen decades from now when problems already exist within certain demographics.
