In a global scenario, i don't expect a drastic change in the energy sources so soon
Fossil fuel corporations are not open to new ideas.
I don't agree with you. One of the first decisions Trump had to remove the ban on the sale of the us strategic reserves of oil and gas. America now wants to become a serious seller in the energy sector. He probably knows about the existence of effective alternative technologies and strives to sell while it has value.

It just seems that there are no people interested in how to help the world knowing that we are destroying our planet. I wanted to have a healthy discussion about what can we do even if it's a little thing to help the environment. 
It will help the human but not the environment, it will just slows down nature's destruction. For example, the Solar Energy, we need solar panels in order to convert it into electricity, and those solar panels are made from raw materials coming from nature and processed by those mega factories that emit dangerous gasses. Remember that we're not just talking about a piece of panel, and Solar energy is not the only renewable energy that needs to be converted by machines into a usable form.
That's true, the thing is that you can lessen the damage and try to rebuild it, it's never ending but it's worth it in my opinion. The materials coming from nature would be the sacrifice and it would lead to a better use rather than just use it in a non-helpful way.

Renewables energy have a major roles on how energy is being produce with greener and sufficieny source of energy  only today but also in the future. We should shift into renewable energy because is infinite unlike other source of energy that is finite only.
There are already house and establishment are getting involve with use of renewable energy. Here in my country, different kinds of renewable energy are being implemented like wind, geothermal, solar, biomass and hydro power. Our government support this kind of project building solar farm, hydroelectric and wind power.  I believe that one day we can build a cleaner and greener world.
It has a major role and that's why I believe in it, it just needs time to be researched and soon enough, there will be promising research articles that could be implemented in the world that could help save the planet.

In this technological era, some advancements have potential to make our world cleaner and greener. Do you think that it is possible? That people would start doing it in their own little ways that they can eventually have an impact on our environment?

Lots of scientific studies are out there being researched and developed, for example, the artificial photosynthesis. It's where you make a plastic coating of some sorts that will get CO2 or something and make cleaner air. That's where it's going to boom when it's practical to make for everyone to use.

Do you believe that the research papers now can have an impact? Cite examples and do you think that it's possible?

Renewable sources of energy are not really that renewable, many electric cars use many rare metals that as their name implies are rare  so it is not easy to find them and are rare, so renewable energies are not as good as some think.

Solar and Wind are great sources of renewable energy that should be adopted by more countries.

On a per KWh basis, the nuclear energy is at least three times cheaper than solar energy and at least twice as cheaper when compared to the energy generated from the thermal power-plants. On top of that it does not pollute the atmosphere like the thermal power-plants. Waste disposal is an issue, but the advancement of technology has resolved this problem as well.
I believe in the nuclear energy that it could power a lot of homes, not just the power plant itself. I researched about how the radioactive wastes are being managed and I can quite say that I'm impressed and knowing that the number or amount of wastes generated by the nuclear power plant is relatively small amount compared to the thermal electricity production. It has been proven also.

The world is dying and here we are inventing stuffs that neither helps our mother earth nor lessen the pollution eating her. Although there are some scientists trying to solve or invent this dilemma, still, it isn't enouh sonce most of us don't really care. We are too busy trying to live and work and enjoy that we don't have time to look at our environment and do something to make it better. In line with this, i believe renewable energy will play a vital role, if not healing the world we are living, in making it better and lessen the damage we cause everyday. We invest too much on things that makes our daily chores and activites a lot easier with out thinking of the damage it causes to our environment. I guess it's about time to invest for the one and only earth we have.

The only issue with solar and wind energy is the massive capital cost and the significant maintenance expenses. IMO, the best source of renewable energy is Uranium (if the waste is disposed off carefully).
Uranium isn't renewable, you are burning nuclear fuel to get energy and you have to buy it or mine it. Just a few countries have their own uranium mines, so it's not that easy to get. Also, the cost of constructing a nuclear power plant is similar to the cost of making a hydro plant or a geothermal plant. Nuclear plant will produce more energy, but it will be more expensive to maintain if you count all the security issues, protective gear, cost of fuel and its storage.

Well conventional energy is still cheaper, than many other renewable types of energy. But earth is moving towards renewable energy and that is certain. People are more and more aware that renewable energy is better for earth. Moving from conventional types to renewable already started, but it is long proces, and we are somewhere at the start. We can just hope that it will not be late when we move completely on using renewable energy some time in future.
It is relatively cheaper but the downsides on that are it destroys our planet, how we get it is the struggle itself. Some energy providers use the international standards to prevent further damaging the environment but a lot of companies tend to not follow the ISO standards that are needed to properly do processes and make them operate the country again. It is definitely better because once you have done that, think about it, it can be providing you energy 5 - 10 years or more and you won't have to do a single thing, that's awesome.

I once read that there is enough Uranium present in the earth to run nuclear power plants for the next 10,000 years. But I am not a big supporter of nuclear energy. We saw the risks during the 2011 Fukushima disaster.

I think people are not interested in using renewable energy because it will take a lot of process. People nowadays wants everything that is instant. So, they just want to keep on using power plant energy instead of helping solve pollution through renewable energy. People would only realize that they should've used this kind of energy when it's late.

Well, the future is renewable energy. If we want Earth then we have to use renewable energy. The side effects are very less and we have to save our nature for future generations.

People should start considering using renewable energy. I don't see any negative effects of using it. Actually it has a lot of benefits, it helps preserve natural resources, it's eco friendly, it helps on lessening pollution and it can also help us save a lot of money. If all people would just use it, we might even help preserve the nature and also lessen pollution.

I think that renewable energy is good, it would help our environment a lot. It will decrease the waste in our planet. The problem is, people are not interested in using this because they want to have instant (which are provided by power plants) energy. If people would only acknowledge the potential and the help that renewable energy would give, maybe earth would cleaner.
Modern technology can not 100% to provide mankind with energy from alternative sources. And the technology is still too expensive. Now we are talking only about reducing emissions, but it is not the solution. This postponement of the sentence.
There can never be a 100% thing, it doesn't exist because there are a lot of factors to factor in and in order to get the best efficiency, tests must be made and research and now you know the reason why it's expensive. There are a lot of tests that researchers undergo to provide the right information and if the research study is on the right track, it's not yet ideal but it could help the future, funding the development would hasten the process in handling the technological stage.
