views, but personally, I strongly advocate the adoption of renewable sources of

. On the one hand, opponents of renewables claim that the world could face disruptions to the power supply should they be fully adopted.
This

is largely due to the fact that many green

currently in use depend on changeable and unpredictable phenomena
