How Climate Change Is Undermining Renewable Energy Sources

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, discusses how climate change is making renewable energy sources less reliable. Droughts are limiting hydropower, while increased cloud cover is reducing solar efficiency. Experts warn that meteorology and climate science must be central to the energy transition. However, as climate disruptions worsen, the effectiveness of renewables may continue to decline, creating a difficult cycle for policymakers and energy providers worldwide.
