what do you think about using renewable energy sources?

[MollyWalk01]

I was talking about renewable energy sources a lot during my classes at the university, but do you think it is possible to use only renewable energy or not?

[jeanetteLine]

Of course. It even points to use renewable energy resource. We can indicate a few types of them, which are the most important:
1. Wind energy
2. Solar energy 
3. Hydro energy

The so-called renewable energy is a false proposition. In fact, any energy can be regenerated, but it takes longer.
If we can use existing energy in a efficient way and reasonably control the population on the planet, then I think our existing energy is actually enough.
In fact, in most cases, the energy shortage we are facing now is not caused by the bloated population, but more because our energy use is too low.
So the key to solving our current energy problems is to explore more efficient energy use patterns or to try synthetic energy.

They are certainly good ways to rich energy efficiency, but they`re mostly implemented by European countries, where ecological situation is not that grave.
The main point is implementation of renewable energy sources by the main pollution contributors: mainly, China. Now I don`t see how renewable low efficiency sources can make for the demand of such country.

I think each of them has different strengths and weaknesses. So I think it is better to use different types of renewable energy to gain more benefits. Because that can help to overcome the weaknesses of each other.

They are still way too inefficient if compared to traditional sources.
Their time will come, so far this technology is too raw.

[Lintormi]

There is no why only renewable, I think you can use all sources, but it should be done for reasonable purposes and then when it is necessary, because now all will not be able to switch to other sources of energy.

[rakokiller1]

It is, and I believe we are slowly moving in that direction. Thanks to Elon Musk and everyone else who keeps pointing out the importancy of this.

[ATMD]

I think it is the future, our technology would improve to the point where we would be able to optimize renewable energy sources to such an efficient degree that it would be sufficient to replace the need for all non-renewable energy sources.

In some countries it would be possible. Eg. Spain has lots of sunshine, so solar power would work.

But it does not. Spanish politicians decided people have to be PUNISHED for being ecological and owning solar panels. And that is why (free) solar power, after counting solar power tax, is more expensive than bought electricity (which is about 22 c/kWh)

Otherwise Spanish electric companies would lose profits and they would not be able to invest in their electric grid and power plants etc...  Talk about corruption

It seems you always have to take politicians into your calculations. They can be quite surprising.

[Hypoluxy]

It's not sustainable to use renewable energy exclusively. They are a great addition to help reduce the pace of GCC though.

[sodalime]

It's not sustainable to use renewable exclusively, at our current rates. But over time things will shift, battery storage technology will play a big part in the future in stabilising energy production. As well as better efficiencies in renewable.

Although the biggest thing will be more people shifting to more efficient energy use cases. The irony considering that we are in a bitcoin forum, that cryptocurrency is actually such a big waste of energy. The price of a bitcoin, can be somewhat tied to the difficulty in acquiring (i.e. the energy cost).

Not right now for sure, but I believe in the future we will get there for sure since... you know... dead dinozaurs are not endless.

I think this is something that every government and every country should take advantage of. There is a very huge potential in getting renewable energy resources in almost all areas of the globe which is more richer and cheaper and the benefits it could bring to the environment is priceless. The only people who wouldn't want this to happen are the oligarchs and greedy people who are in control because of their oil.

[warhog15]

I think life will get even better because it is cheaper to harness renewable energy and there a lot of natural resources where we can get this from. It will be very beneficial for the people and for the government.
