Question by drumsnvid275: What are some negative consequences of renewable energy sources?
I dont need specific consequences of renewable energy sources like Wind Energy can only function when Wind is present. A broad and more general answer is what i am looking for. I can think of one very obvious one which is that it is not as efficient as fossil fuels. But i need more, thx

The Bigest issues are generally the high cost of installations , which will only yield a profit after considerable time . And the low energy yield for the surface it takes to install the installations on.
Those things aren’t consequences or effects however.. For real consequences you would need to dig very deep..
The occasional bird being stupid enough to fly into a wind turbine ..
Some impact on the ecosystem on the beaches where tidal energy is made into electricity .. since the speed at which water will ebb and the level it’s at will diminish.
If you consider electric dams renewable , there is the impact on the fauna and flora of the flooded area.
For me , one of the most interesting projects these last few years are solar roads.
