        There are some downsides. They just pale in comparison to fossil fuels and nuclear.

        For example, tidal barrages and tidal power disrupting local ecosystems, wildlife deaths from windmills, geothermal agitating local land stability and releasing emissions, etc.

        No perfect solutions - but there are better solutions, and renewables are definitely better than the existing alternatives. Full speed ahead.
