Renewable Energy Is Capable of Meeting Our Energy Needs Despite having public support and advantages over other energy sources‚ renewable technologies have been repeatedly characterized as unable to meet our energy needs. People have been presented only a choice between conventional fossil fuels and nuclear power. This‚ however‚ is a false choice. Renewable energy can reliably generate as much energy as conventional fuels‚ and can do so without producing carbon emissions or radioactive waste
