Drawbacks in Renewable Energy Development

Everyone today is aware of the high costs in the use of the traditional energy sources as electricity, petroleum and many others. Also it has being predicted that in the next century most of the sources of these 'energies' will be depleted as the natural resources become over exploited beyond the natural replenishing rate. This has compelled us-the human beings to vigorously seek for new energy sources to service our domestic, industrial and even military needs.

The first hindrance in the exploitation of the renewable energy is the remoteness of the locations that they are found. It is true that most of the energy generated anywhere in the world is consumed in the expansive towns or cities. The location of these vital energy deposits are in places that make the viability of the projects to be impossible due to the cost; resulting from the terrain and long distances that the energy need to be transmitted.

Another shortcoming in the use of renewable energies is their dependency on climatic or geographical conditions. A renewable energy provider such as the sun (solar energy) maybe affected by lack of adequate sun exposure during cold or cloudy seasons. Also the human activity in some geographical locations may interfere with the productivity of certain renewable sources as biomas.
