Renewable Energy Weaknesses

Renewable energy sources harness or replicate nature’s processes in its production, so it shares some of the weaknesses. Wind mills and solar panels take large tracts of space to collect energy, as the energy is diluted across the environment. Second, renewable energy shares the vagaries of nature, with ebbs and flows. If the wind dies down or the sky clouds over, energy production weakens, perhaps when a company needs it most like during a second shift in the evening. Therefore, renewable energy requires storage to contain the energy between production and consumption, especially if transferring from rural or remote areas to more urban settings.
