Cons of Renewable Energy
Paying attention to the criticisms of renewable energy plans is important. Even if you are arguing the pros
of their use – knowing their faults can help refine their implementation.
1. High development cost: It costs a lot to develop renewable energy stations in both research and
manufacturing the components needed for them to be successful. The known ways of using fossil fuel are
less costly because all of the manufacturing and construction processes are already in place.
2. Vulnerable: Almost all of the suggested renewable energy sources are very vulnerable to weather and
other climate occurrences. Renewable energy sources depend heavily on sun and wind to produce energy.
Abundant rain or slow wind can reduce the production of energy. As it is not possible to produce energy in
such conditions, we might have to reduce our energy consumption. In fact, even if many of them are
adopted, in some areas the predicted ongoing climate change could make them inoperable within 50
years.
3. Unable to Produce in Large Quantities: Unlike coal powered electric plants that produce abundant
supply of power, renewable sources can’t produce that much of energy in short span of time. The
technology that is used in producing energy is new and major other factors like weather play spoilsport
that hamper the production of energy on large scale. This simply means that either we have to reduce our
energy consumption or set up new facilities that could produce energy at a faster rate.
4. Not Available in all Areas: One of the major cons of many of the renewable energy plans is that the
raw material – solar intensity, wind or water, is not available in all locations. That mean you will still have to
create an infrastructure for transporting the energy that may not be better than what is already in place.
5. Large Areas Required: Another cons of renewable energy is that to produce large amount of energy,
large amount of solar panels and wind farms have to be set up. For this, large areas of land is needed to
produce such massive amount of energy on large scale.
As important as understanding the pros and cons of renewable energy to help determine policy and
funding going forward, many people are struck by the apparent lack of concern about our energy
resources that most people have. The issue isn’t that they don’t care, it’s that being able to creatively
imagine a future you won’t be a part of as having an immediate importance in your life is hard. One of the
best ways to continue this debate is to educate people as to the role and responsibility they have in
creating the future for their children and grandchildren.
