I really agree on renewable energy, it's really saving our planet and reduce the global warming but of course this need a lot of research and cooperation from all people and we know one day we will run out of energy source so we cant depend on those energy source, but some people simply don't want to know, they will only realize when the problem already at critical point, it is really important to keep on developing this technology so we will save our earth

The main problem with renewable energy is that it is not very affordable. Look at solar panels and wind power turbines. They cost a lot, and they require constant maintenance. The only affordable renewable energy source is Uranium. 
The reason why renewable energy is expensive, it's because the materials used to manufacture those kinds of devices are hard to get meaning more price will come from that. Solar panels have different specifications also and that comes with a price and how much energy you could store in your storage. That's one of the problems of renewable energy, how to store it.
So that the best thing we should do is to educate ourselves on how to take good care the things that benefits us a lot. And energy from the sun is the most important energy that we should have if we don't want those  renewable energy. We should have discipline within ourselves to avoid using those very expensive renewable energy.
Exactly, because we are benefiting this planet, that we are all living here we should take care of it. No matter how small it is like picking up garbage and recycling things in the right places, helping people to recover. Do you consider yourself to be a good guy towards the environment that we live in or not? That's the ultimate question that each and one of us should answer.

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

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).

Renewable sources of energy is not just on papers nowadays...
a lot of people has already started such endeavors.
but there are even more people, who doesn't have enough knowledge on these
as a result they tend to go on with the conventional way of attaining energy...
hopefully someday it will really come true that all of us will promote renewable source.

Renewable energy in my opinion is very important than energy such as coal and petroleum that makes a lot of air pollution, I always cloudy for renewable energy to increase its usefulness. Because only in 2000 renewable energy is widely developed in various countries
But do you know why it isn't widely used? Because it's expensive, depends on the weather (in most cases but not all), and has other issues. For instance solar panels need to be kept clean and are very easily damaged by hurricanes or hailstorms. Wind generators have brakes that have to be frequently checked and maintained, if the turbine will spin out of control and self destruct. Also building a concrete tower of this size is difficult and expensive. Probably the only highly efficient plants are river dams. They can run 24/7 with the same speed, don't need a lot of maintenance, but the construction costs are still high.
There are wind generators which do not require the construction of concrete towers. You can see these wind turbines in the Arab countries. They provide electricity for drilling rigs. Although hydroelectric power plant at the moment is the cheapest form of electricity production.
It is expensive for a reason and you know that it's more expensive to us if we didn't do something about the depleting resources that we have on this planet. It's like letting someone destroy your home for nothing and you are doing nothing about it. It's continuously evolving, the ways that we can get energy and there is always research, that's for sure. There is nothing perfect in this world that's why there are trial and error happening around us and that we need to make sure that we support it, who else will if no one is out there to support? Continuous research is good for everyone of us.

Coal and the like is finite and will run out. We'll have to switch to renewable energy eventually - the question is how much we'll damage our planet before we do.

The point we should make is even if we weren't damaging our planet the scarcity of coal is reason enough to start early at looking into alternatives so we don't end up with no viable options.
We can never test how much the humans have done to destroy the planet Earth that we are currently living in now but what ever we did, we damaged it and it's in our power to fix it or somehow make an alternative. That's why we need more alternative resources of energy.

We would really have to invest on renewable energy as that would be the only way to sustain us in the long run. Earth is being destroyed bit by bit whether we admit it or not. Climate change, and visually we can see the damage that is being inflicted on this planet. With renewable energy we can keep the damage to a kinimum we can maintain our life and we would be making the world a better place.

I absolutely believe in science so yes I think papers will influence the thinking of many people. But the biggest problem is that the politic is too slow and don't react fast enough. I think this is a very big fail of humanity. We destroy our earth and we just learn from our mistakes when it's too late. Let's see what happens in the future. But I think this will be a crazy world if we don't change much bad habbits ..
I think it's just a rare moment that there are people who don't believe in science, it would be just a life without understanding, in my opinion. I know right, it's the politics that makes everything hard because people tend to always make it about money, and it's not going to be easy anyway. It's just making everything hard knowing that we are falling in a trap of people who has the power to choose for the people, and it's just scary that people can just be tempted by greed and start from there.

You need to start saving energy
And use it at a minimum

Energy should not be wasted, but it should be used when there is a need. But still, I am against the expansion of thermal power plants. They create a lot of pollution, and every year a lot of people die as a result of this pollution. IMO, thermal power plants must be replaced with either hydro-electric plants, or nuclear power plants.
That's why there are events like Earth Hour or something because we need to conserve it and help our planet to renew the resources because you know that our planet is experiencing climate change. There are a lot of ways that you could do it it's just the political powers that stand against it because they are after with personal reasons.

Earth Hour is a good concept, to spread awareness.  But one hour per year is not enough to have a meaningful impact.  Power conservation is important, and we as a society are very wasteful of electricity.  We have corporate skyscrapers that leave their lights on 24 hours a day all year even though people aren't there overnight normally, and there are only some that are starting to change that.  Again through, I feel like it will need to be a technological solution instead of depending on people to actively care about this.  The smart home concept with having all your lights, appliance and devices with connectivity, so it can be controlled centrally or even programmed with sensors, so HVAC and lights adjust automatically to be used when you need it vs. conserving energy when you don't.
If the whole world participated, it would have been something. Neither way, it's not the fact that it has a big impact, but the thought of doing something about it is what matters. Conserving energy should be everyone's goal and to see that they can somehow change the world. It might be little to you but it would be a lot for everyone as a whole. Well I hope there would be some kind of technology that would help us better and to conserve more energy in a big scale.

i was thinking about this also i love doing something good using natural energy if someday i have a to invest i well invest in solar enegry so i can create a free alectricity all i need is sunlight to give me ah free electricity for now i was banking money to achieve my dream someday if i have inough moeny i can buy it so i can help my family and aslo helping sa world

I believe that wind power is cheaper than solar energy. In the past, I was thinking about installing solar panels in my house. But these panels were too expensive.
