I think renewable energy is just a temporary solution to get rid of fossil energy and nuclear power. Humans will have to find a new form of energy to serve humanity to develop to a higher and more sustainable level. We are hoping for scientific and technical achievements.
- Maybe it's just a way to deal with the temporary dangers of energy sources for the future but as a best way, it seems to be recognized as our future because the scientific world has been pursuing for many years in the research of other energy sources that can replace and serve humanity, the result is still that depletion will be a problem that happens over time. Therefore, renewables are almost hitting the nature of the weak points of energy sources, renewables are also simpler when there are quite a lot of impurities and wastes that can be used as fuel.
There are plenty of ways to create energy, nuclear is one of the most effective, but dangerous nonetheless, it's a practice that should slowly be diminished, for the sake of our safety. As another user mentioned above, renewable may and probably will not replace fossil fuels in the next upcoming decades, however, our dependency on them must be decreased, in order to sustain them for the future.
