Our future with renewable energy.

[JeffBrad12]

It is unrealistic to expect the world to 100% run on renewable energy. The infrastructure required for a complete transition is expensive and time consuming to implement. Renewable energy sources like solar & wind are intermittent & dependent on weather conditions which leads to fluctuations in supply. The storage & distribution of renewable energy on a large scale pose significant challenges. Some industries & regions heavily rely on non renewable sources like fossil fuels for their energy needs. Achieving a 100% renewable energy world would require substantial technological advancements, policy changes & global cooperation.

I think it's still possible, but it will take time for sure.

but along the way we can still focus on diversifying energy sources and one of them could be green hydrogen.
industry revolution toward the greener path and reducing carbon footprint will be an extensive and cost hungry effort but I think the fact that so many institutions still pushing for green energy is a good thing.
we're still too early to say that it's unrealistic, maybe within next decade we might see some significant technology advancement that allows the use of renewable energy and also boost the production of renewable energy, after all technology developing so fast.

I think it is difficult to advance renewable energy at the moment, by encouraging its development it is hoped that management will be more independent, but the target will be difficult to achieve because it requires good technological progress
and it has been tested because the energy needs of users are now increasing, because in the development of renewable energy there are many obstacles faced such as limited infrastructure and limited technical expertise, because things like that require careful consideration but over time has changed this little by little but I believe In the future, all of this will definitely come true, even though it will take time to achieve all of that.

The transition to the use of alternative energy sources is truly the call of the time and our inevitable future. Now almost all states are either developing new sources of energy consumption or are trying to implement existing developments. Humanity is being pushed towards this process by a decrease in fossil fuel reserves and dramatic climate change as a result of the traditional use of coal, gas and petroleum products as a fuel and source of energy. Previously, gas and oil corporations sharply opposed the process of searching and introducing alternative energy sources, physically eliminating inventors and destroying their inventions, but now the situation has reached a new level that can no longer be stopped.

Particularly interesting in this regard are the developments of Japanese, French and scientists from other countries on the practical application of the process of nuclear fusion as an energy source, that is, a chemical reaction that occurs in all the stars of our universe - a process during which two light atomic nuclei combine into one more a heavy core releasing enormous amounts of energy. Almost such artificial suns may appear in the next decade. This is even mentioned in the prophecies of the Bulgarian soothsayer Vanga, who predicted that people would launch several such artificial suns into low Earth orbit, which would evenly illuminate our planet all day long.

The advancement of clean energy technologies is unstoppable.
The global market value of six key mass-produced clean energy technologies – solar photovoltaics, wind power, electric vehicles (EVs), batteries, electrolyzers and heat pumps – nearly quadrupled between 2015 and 2023, surpassing $700 billion, or roughly half the value of all natural gas produced globally that year.

According to a recent report by the International Energy Agency (IEA), under current policies, the market for these clean technologies will nearly triple to exceed $2 trillion by 2035.

China is currently the country with the lowest production costs for the key clean energy technologies examined in the report, excluding explicit financial support from governments. The production of solar photovoltaic modules, wind turbines and battery technologies costs on average 40% more in the United States, 45% more in the European Union and 25% more in India.
But competition between countries is always good for rapid development and cheaper production.

So I read a thread on the forum by Ultegra134 that talked about renewable energy and he asked;

"The big question here is, can the world be 100% dependent on renewable energy sources? How can that be achieved and are they sustainable?"

I must say you spoke so we'll about the need for renewable energy and how it's sustainable feature can be of help to the economic situation of the country thereby paving way for more development via renewable resources. And you're actually right ok the aspect of political and social acceptance of this renewable resources, but the thing is the government of the country can be so greedy and biased to a point that all they desire is to have a share of the renewable energy to themselves and leave the masses with no option. If this can be tackled then the future will penetrate across the globe on renewable energy and resources.

Another challenge is the cost of renewable energy technologies and infrastructure, which may be higher than fossil fuels in some cases. However, many studies have shown that the benefits of renewable energy outweigh the costs in the long term, as they reduce greenhouse gas emissions, air pollution, health impacts, and dependence on imported fuels. Moreover, renewable energy can create more jobs and stimulate economic growth.

Last time I remember that renewable energy was expensive in my region because we import it but at the same time we have cheap energy. Financially, it wasn't beneficial to invest in renewable energy but recently I see more and more solar panels everywhere. They are either getting cheap or people are getting eco-friendly, which sounds strange for my region.

A third challenge is the social and political acceptance of renewable energy, which may face resistance from some groups or individuals who have vested interests in the fossil fuel industry or who are skeptical about climate change. To overcome this barrier, public awareness and education campaigns are needed to inform people about the benefits and feasibility of renewable energy, as well as policies and incentives that support its development and deployment.

Politically, renewable energy is the most accepted form of energy because it reduces carbon emissions and long-term, energy is generated more cheaply. My country even got a request from the EU to invest in renewable energy and they are doing it where they can. Compared to 10-20 years ago, there is a big progress.

In conclusion, it is possible for the world to be 100% dependent on renewable energy,

Storage is a big deal, I already see a change from renewables taking which is the power is produced at all hours of the day. Its important its used but also stored, this varies from oil, coal and gas previously used because they are easily stored and the energy released on demand.

So together with Nuclear this is a big change, nuclear power once its process has started cannot be halted easily it must cooled for sometime after even if not being used to produce power.  I think renewable power can be cheaper eventually but investment and development is quite significant a barrier to startup.  Again the old fuels have the advantage of being so well known and immediate in their production.   

Cost of Solar has come down alot, Wind is cheaper in certain areas where its most efficient and I even believe hydro and tidal power could be a big deal but not as easily implemented as all the other alternatives.    Its easily arguable not that not just production but infrastructure to carry the electricity has to be upgraded, I read this is especially true in USA because of its formidable terrain and diverse locations both population and the production facilities etc.   There are many challenges but alll can be overcome imo.

This is the future and there is really no turning back. The thing is, the only reason why we are using those old fossil fuel methods is because we just do not have as profitable as we can other alternatives, but the more we subsidies them, and that means just not taking taxes is more than enough, then we are going to grow there a lot as well.

Oil companies made BILLIONS in profit while still taking subsidies, because a nation needs energy more than anything else, and it's more profitable to just not take taxes from your own nations companies, then import energy from another nation anyways. So, with time, people will realize, those renewable ones like hydro, solar, wind and so far will all be what world is giving us and we can make use of it and efficiency will increase a lot and we will make a good profit with them.

True,  the adaptation may take time because governments still profit from fossil. Companies that refine oil also benefit financially. There are still many cars in my country using fossil fuels, so transitioning to electric vehicles (EVs) will take time.

Also, transitioning to renewable energy sources will require time for people to be able to afford them. Before we can completely phase out fossil fuels, but having dual energy sources might not be a bad idea.

It's already happening; some individuals use solar power in their homes, although it's still relatively rare. Only a few buildings and government institutions utilize solar energy, but it's a start.

However, I believe that with time, we can adopt renewable energy. Any government that cares about moving the country forward would invest in renewable energy.
