There are 3 main problems with "renewable" energy.
No large-scale storage for electric power exists, now, or in the foreseeable future. As a result, electric power must be generated on demand, 7 x 24 x 365.
Renewables cannot generate anywhere near the total amount of power needed by modern societies, and also cannot generate it 7 x 24 x 365.
Renewables take up an insane amount of space to generate the same power as a current NatGas power plant.
The bottom line is that renewables are not an adequate replacement for current power plants, and likely never will be. Only complete morons push for the use of renewables.
Ironically, nuclear power (especially molten salt reactors) would be the ideal "green" source of energy...
Wind mills kill off all kinds of birds wholesale, and the mining process for solar panels rivels that of electric vehicle batteries. Oil is natural and plentiful.
Hydro-electric is good, but the dams tend to fill in with muck and debri. Geothermal is good, and I am not aware of the downside. Seems to work great when it is easily acessable like in Iceland.
My whole career has been in hydro electric generation. That’s about the closest we have to renewables. Solar panels and wind turbines will never cut it. The whole country is being gaslit
Oil wells that were previously drained many years ago are now shown to have oil in them again.
Sounds like renewable energy to me.
There is no shortage or oil or natural gas. Drill Baby Drill!

I was astounded decades ago when they took out hydro because of fish.
I’ll say it till the day I die: nuclear is the way to go.
