- One of the downsides of renewable energy is that it is difficult to generate the quantities of electricity that are as large as those produced by traditional fossil fuel generations.
- Building wind, farms, and damns, can disrupt wildlife and migration patterns and lead to ecological destruction.
- Renewable energy systems is the initial investment required to start them up
Renewable energy is energy generated from natural resources such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, and geothermal heat, which are renewable (naturally replenished), infinite, or able to regenerate themselves. Each renewable energy source requires its own storage technology. Like most things in life, each has its own pros and cons.
Despite having many advantages, there are also downsides of renewable every and this time, let’s take a look at the downsides of renewable energy.

One of the main lingering challenges of renewable energy systems is the initial investment required to start them up. This involves relatively large amounts of money, which often makes renewable energy appear unprofitable at first. Another drawback of renewable energy facilities is the space required to develop them and the many materials needed for their construction. For example, solar energy, thermal energy, and wind energy. All of which require large plants with expensive technology and which in some cases generate high levels of pollution during their production. Renewable energy plants can also have negative impacts on landscapes.
Moreover, unpredictable weather can affect the energy supply of renewable energy. There can be unanticipated weather events that interrupt these technologies. Hydro generators need rain to fill dams to supply flowing water. Wind turbines need wind to turn the blades, and solar collectors need clear skies and sunshine to collect heat and make electricity. When these resources are unavailable, so is the capacity to produce energy from them.
