Abstract
The negative effects of traditional energy sources have long been the center of concern worldwide. Contrarily, alternative energy sources, particularly those that are renewable, such as solar and wind power, have always had a positive reputation. It is often thought that solar and wind energy are environmentally friendly and economically cheap. However, these energies also create problems that may be overlooked or unnoticed. The current research aims to illustrate the negative environmental effects of solar and wind energy, as well as describe the economic disadvantages of renewable power plants. To accomplish this paper, data, and evidence from several research papers were analyzed. It was discovered that renewable energy may cause biodiversity loss and create natural disasters. It is also responsible for microclimate change. In addition, renewable energy plants are not economically beneficial both in the long and short run. This paper should make people and policymakers aware before launching renewable energy projects.
