Well, that's an interesting question. Some of the disadvantages of relying heavily on renewable sources of energy, for example, biogas, is that it's expensive. The construction of a biogas facility is not cheap, especially for a common person who earns minimum wage. They can barely afford it. Yet we cannot ignore the fact that biogas is healthy and a good source of energy, but the cost of constructing the plant is very high. So the owner prefers using other sources of energy to cater to their daily needs. On the other hand, for solar panels, they are not really of good quality. Most of these panels get damaged within two years and they often don't have a warranty. So the individual is forced to return to the shop after every two years or even one year because they are not durable. They cannot withstand harsh climates or even any breakage or falling down, so they tend to break easily. That's what I have to say about renewable sources of energy.
