  1. The main challenges include energy storage, grid infrastructure upgrades, and intermittency of some renewable sources.
  2. Can contribute to deforestation, air pollution, and require large land areas.
  3. Wind is unpredictable, turbines can be noisy, and they may impact wildlife.
  4. Policies like subsidies, tax credits, and renewable energy mandates encourage investment and accelerate adoption.
  5. It reduces greenhouse gas emissions, decreases air pollution, and conserves natural resources.
  6. High initial costs, intermittent availability (dependent on sunlight), and space requirements.
  7. It disrupts ecosystems, displaces communities, and is costly to build.
  8. It creates jobs, reduces reliance on imported fuels, and lowers long-term energy costs.
