Consumers are making the move to renewable energy, however, there is still a lot of dependence on fossil fuels. Take the poll and in the Comments section, let us know what you think can be done to make the shift to renewable energy easier.
From my analysis of the situation, renewable energy has a place within the energy space, but is not yet ready to supplant traditional sources of energy.
The debacle in Texas a couple of years ago aptly exposed the current weakness of the renewable capability.
People died because the Texas grid did not have emergency power generation capability and the glaring fact that Texas did not have a compatible grid with any of their neighbors.
These glaring errors were very predictable given their lack of risk analysis and adequate backup capability.
You have to understand that it takes time to mature a new technology so that it can supply reliable energy.
I have faith that renewable energy will eventually get to a level of maturity where it can indeed supplant the fossil fuel sources, but we are talking decades, not a few years.
A lot of people are pushing this technology into production, and it is just not ready to deliver on its promises.
Please lower your expectations, there are no immediate miracles.
Everybody just stop, take a deep breath, and then use some common sense.
It was decades before coal generated power was reliable enough to build out a power grid and it took decades before everyone who wanted power had access.
Fifty years ago, I knew a local family who had still not connected to the power grid, even though it had been available to them for decades.
So stop trying to put this horse into the race too quickly.
We will get there eventually, patience is required.
