    Disadvantages of Renewable Energy Renewable resources are not immune to conflicts. Mansson (2015) sees that some potential conflicts could be local due to non centralized energy, i.e. a cloudy week for a city reliant on solar could be difficult if there isn’t any diversification. Diversification would solve this problem by having many sources of energy, hydropower from a dam, wind turbines, solar panels, and possibly a coal plant for backup. A possible issue is that being self reliant decreases our

    fact that 86% of our energy comes from nonrenewable, polluting, costly fossil fuels and only 14% is renewable is diabolical. Why must we harm our environment to contribute to our energy production when renewable energy sources are so abundantly present so that we may be symbiotic with nature? To lessen our environmental impact and be able to avoid the high expenses of non-renewable fossil fuels in the near future it should be obvious that we start to use more renewable energy sources than we do nonrenewable
