Disadvantages

It’s simple to understand the environmental advantages of using the alternative and renewable types of power but we also have to be mindful of the disadvantages.

1. It is hard to produce the amounts of electricity that are as big as those created by original fossil fuel producers. This could mean that we need to decrease the quantity of energy we use or just build additional energy facilities. It also shows that the greatest answer to our energy difficulties may be to have a steadiness of many different power sources.

2. The dependability of stock. Renewable power frequently relies on the climate for its source of power. Hydro generators require rain to fill dams to stock flowing water. Wind turbines require wind to spin the blades, and solar panels require clear skies and the sun to gather warmth and create power. When these resources are unavailable, so is the capacity to create power from them. This can be randomised and inconsistent. The present cost of renewable power technology is also distant in excess of original fossil fuel generation. This is because it is a more modern technology and as such has a tremendously big capital price.
