4. Renewable energy sources, such as solar, wind and hydro-power, are renewable in nature and are available in all parts of the world. Disadvantages of Renewable Energy: 
1. Renewable energy technology is still in its infancy and the infrastructure required to implement certain renewable energy sources can be expensive.
2. A major drawback of renewable energy sources is their intermittent nature, which means that they are not always available.
3. The installation and maintenance of renewable energy sources can be difficult, expensive and require a great deal of expertise.
4. Some renewable energy sources can create environmental impacts, such as noise pollution and the destruction of habitats.
