Electric vehicles are currently increasingly being used. Even in my country, infrastructure development for charging electric vehicles continues. And the development is also quite fast. The use of electric vehicles is also believed to reduce carbon emissions in the air. And the conclusion is that currently we are moving towards renewable technology. Years ago we were introduced to energy from sunlight. And these years we have been introduced to a wide variety of electric vehicles. So it is possible that the transition to renewable energy is indeed near. It's just that even distribution of its use will definitely take a long time.
The development of infrastructure for charging electric vehicles will increase people's interest in switching to electric vehicles because it will make it easier for people if they run out of power while traveling, but this requires a process for people who are used to fossil fuel vehicles because if they have to replace their vehicles with Electric vehicles certainly require quite a lot of money. I think this could hinder their distribution.

Renewable energy is of course the right solution to replace natural materials such as oil and gas which are increasingly difficult, maybe at the moment this seems strange but slowly technology will emerge that can use renewable energy so that it is no longer dependent on mining products such as oil, gas and others. .
We’ve been far too reliant on fossil fuels and some countries, bear the brunt of it when there’s a man made scarcity or other problems that could arise that would bring about an energy crisis so of course, renewable energy is the right solution to replace fossil fuels.
The tech to harness these renewable energy sources has already emerged. We’ve got people today, driving around with electric vehicles. I think we still have some quite a while and lots of work to be done before fossil fuels would be relegated as a substitute energy source but slowly, we’re getting there.

German and Scandinavian nations with large funds undertaking eco-friendly improvements because they can? Budget isnt everything. Sustainability and renewable energy's long-term economic benefits are key.
How about Nigeria? The idea that people cant afford solar is foolish. Solar energy is affordable and even be cheaper in the long run for countries with less financial flexibility. Future savings and sustainability matter more than original investment.
And China? A rich government doesnt guarantee universal prosperity, right? Socioeconomic gaps and working-class struggles are not footnotes. These harsh realities contrast with the government's financial strength. Its complicated, not just a budget issue.
It’s is possible for the world to move into renewable energy. The world is blessed with so many natural resources that can help utilize this process, for instance in Nigeria, we have a lot of waste laying around that we can convert into renewable energy, the rice husk for instance if proper utilize can serve effectively in the solar system. The rice husk is a biomass and can be used in the production of silicon. This silicon that is produced can be used in the solar system. This is just one example, they are many others and some we haven’t discover yet. Studies and research are carried out every day to find better way to make livelihood easy. How about Nigeria? The idea that people cant afford solar is foolish. Solar energy is affordable and even be cheaper in the long run for countries with less financial flexibility. Future savings and sustainability matter more than original investment.
And China? A rich government doesnt guarantee universal prosperity, right? Socioeconomic gaps and working-class struggles are not footnotes. These harsh realities contrast with the government's financial strength. Its complicated, not just a budget issue.
The government will have to pay close attention to this new reality and see how they can help bring it into limestone by investing in renewable energy. Renewable energy will continue to rise in the upcoming decade, edging out fossil fuels and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
If you remember the UK, then among European countries, I think that Germany will be a leader in this direction. But this is a long process and it is not so easy to immediately abandon nuclear energy, especially when it has always been the main source for many countries of the world.
Recently, we have increasingly seen how different countries are trying to use renewable energy sources, but this so far provides only a small part of the required capacity. China is now the leader in the production of solar batteries and they also use them, look, the length is about 80 kilometers, this is impressive.
Germany has enough budget to do something like this because it wouldn't hurt them all that much. I personally believe that they are making this type of changes all before everyone else (along with Scandinavian nations) because they have the budget for it. Try to go all solar in a nation like Nigeria if you can, how would people be able to afford building something like that? They wouldn't be able to do that at all and it makes no sense. It wouldn't be affordable for other nations and it would be fine for Germany.Recently, we have increasingly seen how different countries are trying to use renewable energy sources, but this so far provides only a small part of the required capacity. China is now the leader in the production of solar batteries and they also use them, look, the length is about 80 kilometers, this is impressive.
China is doing it because they have the budget for it as well, maybe not every person is living a fine life, they are the nation with safety net in factories so people wouldn't commit suicide, so imagine how terrible life must be there, but the government is quite powerful and rich enough to do something like this.

Clead Edge's report mentions five important developments necessary for the transition to 100% renewable energy. These are summarized as follows:
1) A robust electricity transmission infrastructure
2) Zero energy buildings and grid-connected smart appliances
3) Storage
4) More large-scale renewable energy facilities
5) Cost effective small solar power plants.
Four of the five points are possible. The critical element here is storage. There is a direct and very important relationship between storage and the transition to 100% renewable energy.
Recently, solar and wind have come to the forefront among the resources that are called renewable and supported in the world. The energy produced from these two sources is also intermittent energy production. Therefore, they need to be stored in order to meet demand continuously. Water can be stored but it is difficult to store two of the most important resources. I can say that this transition will be possible with the solution of the storage problem. Otherwise, we will be stuck with fossil fuels for a long time to come.

As compared to the pros the number of cons are more with that of renewable energy as we cannot get it easily and we cannot get benefit from it 24 hours per day. If we take an example of solar system so it cannot persist in every weather and every hour of a day.
The performance of renewable energy is not as fast as we requires but one benefit is here that world will not be effected by the harmful effects of sun when we use it to as a source of renewable energy. We will also be profitable and our money will be saved if we use renewable energy as it is cost effective and do not require much money to cover its bills.

The energy you gave as an example, namely solar energy, can be converted into electricity and stored. In other words, even if we cannot ensure that this energy is produced 24/7, we can ensure that it is stored. There are many different methods and alternatives like this.
We must use renewable energy. Renewable energy is of great importance because of the possibility of depletion of our resources. The advantages of renewable energy outweigh its disadvantages. While energy is the most needed thing in the world, all alternatives must be evaluated and used cheaply.
Renewable energy is of course the right solution to replace natural materials such as oil and gas which are increasingly difficult, maybe at the moment this seems strange but slowly technology will emerge that can use renewable energy so that it is no longer dependent on mining products such as oil, gas and others. .
The world is already moving towards renewable energy sources and having a lot of success with it, however it's an expensive business so it is the richest countries in the world who are leading the way most of the time. Just look at the UK, it has vast wind farms which have enabled it to generate it's entire eletrical grid energy needs for days at a time, purely off renewables. One thing that is key to it however is diversification and nuclear power should still be considered as a backup or baseline load option, because it is much more reliable. Improvements to battery and long term energy storage will also be essential, because at the moment it is hard to store energy so it needs to be used around the time it is generated.

So I read a thread on the forum by Ultegra134 that talked about renewable energy and he asked;
"The big question here is, can the world be 100% dependent on renewable energy sources? How can that be achieved and are they sustainable?"
The thing is, according to several studies and experts, it is possible for the world to be 100% dependent on renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, and biomass. However, this would require a major transition of the current energy system, which is mostly based on fossil fuels that are non-renewable and contribute to climate change.
Some of the challenges and barriers to achieving this goal are technical, economic, social, and political. For example, renewable energy sources are often variable and intermittent, meaning they depend on natural conditions that are not always predictable or stable. This requires a reliable and flexible grid system that can balance supply and demand, as well as storage technologies that can store excess energy for later use.
Another challenge is the cost of renewable energy technologies and infrastructure, which may be higher than fossil fuels in some cases. However, many studies have shown that the benefits of renewable energy outweigh the costs in the long term, as they reduce greenhouse gas emissions, air pollution, health impacts, and dependence on imported fuels. Moreover, renewable energy can create more jobs and stimulate economic growth.
A third challenge is the social and political acceptance of renewable energy, which may face resistance from some groups or individuals who have vested interests in the fossil fuel industry or who are skeptical about climate change. To overcome this barrier, public awareness and education campaigns are needed to inform people about the benefits and feasibility of renewable energy, as well as policies and incentives that support its development and deployment.
In conclusion, it is possible for the world to be 100% dependent on renewable energy, but it would require a significant transformation of the current energy system and a collective effort from all stakeholders. Some countries and regions have already achieved or are close to achieving this goal, such as Iceland, Brazil, New Zealand’s South Island, Denmark’s Samsø island, and Germany’s Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and Schleswig-Holstein regions. These examples show that 100% renewable energy is not only feasible but also desirable for a sustainable future.

In theory it can indeed be done. But the transition period from fossil energy to renewable energy is actually a big obstacle.
Apart from the fact that it requires quite high costs in making facilities and such. In fact, the real obstacle is that we ourselves may already be dependent on the use of oil fuel energy.
But if awareness of environmental sustainability is increased, I believe that in the future renewable energy will really be used and become the majority of usage. But building everyone's awareness is the most difficult.
High infrastructure and capital can be overcome. But human awareness to love nature more, I think this is the real obstacle.

Using renewable energy has its pros and cons. Renewable energy is difficult to obtain in unsuitable weather conditions or from unsuitable materials. There is also the issue of durability. Often what is considered ideal is most often not. Therefore, the process of switching to renewable energy sources will be very long
And building renewable energy infrastructure also requires quite large costs. So everything can only be done slowly.
Fortunately, all changes and advances in technology today are actually increasingly leading to renewable technology. In fact, investment in research in this field continues to increase. The goal is so that everyone can enjoy renewable energy but still at an affordable cost. But I doubt that will happen any time soon. But I believe it will happen. Even large companies like Tesla continue to research and develop technology that uses renewable energy. Or another example is the SunPower company which is currently famous as a solar panel manufacturer. And I believe there will be more and more companies operating in this field.

Renewable energy is the future. In 2020, around 29% of global electricity production is through renewable means, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA) and this percentage is expected to increase in the coming years. Renewable energy is expected to become the largest source of electricity generation by 2025. It is also providing jobs to the people. It is estimated that there is an increase of over 150% in employment in the solar industry alone in a decade. An increase of 1/3rd is expected in the global additions of renewable power capacity this year, according to IEA's latest reports.

Transforming the whole world into renewable energy is very difficult to implement. For this, there will be many changes in our social system and life system which may be difficult to adapt to. There are also many countries whose main trade is fossil fuels, they may not take the matter well. Moreover, it is very complicated to maintain renewable energy. The industry of many countries of the world is immobile without fossil fuels. In renewable energy we will not get the benefits that we are getting now. Converting to 100% renewable energy is time consuming and difficult.
It’s not really that difficult to switch over to renewable energy sources. I think we are naturally resistant to change but change being constant is also inevitable. Sooner or later, It’s bound to happen.
What changes to our social life do you think would renewable sources of energy bring that would be difficult to adapt to? None that comes to my mind.
We’ve been for far too long solely dependent on fossil fuels for our energy sources and people are open to other options. We’re going to get a lot more benefits using renewable energy as these sources of energy literally cannot be exhausted. How does it get any better than that?
Converting to renewable energy being time consuming and difficult is merely propaganda pushed by oil tycoons who has been making record profits over the years with little care for the environment.

The world has been through similar periods before. Only in the modern world changes happen easier and faster than for example transition from horse power to steam engines
So I don't see any problems, especially considering the fact that we are not going to get away from it, due to the real limitation of fossil reserves. I.e. whether we want to or not - we are EXPECTED to switch to alternative energy - nuclear, cold fusion, renewable energy sources....
