Even though the elements will stay on earth longer than fossil fuel, you won't be able to shower on a cloudy day with no wind. These resources are renewable, but are not as reliable as fossil fuels, which provide a steady stream of energy.

Even though it has a one-time cost, the one-time cost is pretty expensive. For instance, if you were to install a windmill, it would cost between 3 to 4 million dollars. 

Even though renewable energy slows the rate of co 2 emissions, it is still not completely "green" because shipping and manufacturing still reduce an amount of co 2.

Even though many people get jobs because of renewable energy, they only get 53, 432 a year one average. Besides, even though renewable energy is becoming more and more popular, people are clamoring for more and more jobs in this industry, and the cost is rising. This means that the workers are not likely to get a pay raise due to demand, manufacturing, the demand for jobs, and the price rising at the same time. 

Renewable energy won't run out, because the water, sun, wind, and plants are likely to stay on this planet for much longer than we humans are likely to live.

Maintenance requirements are lower, and the cost is only one-time. After that, little to no maintenance is needed and the cost goes down. 

Renewable energy saves money because governments don't have to buy fuel from other countries or governments. 

Renewable energy has numerous health and environmental benefits because pollution causes long-lasting damage to ecosystems, humans, and the land. The cycle usually goes some thing like this: the ground becomes dirty, it rains, the water becomes dirty, the land absorbs it and eventually lets it go into a water body. This vicious cycle is self-sustaining, and renewable energy has the potential to stop it.

Many more people get jobs, as manufacturing is needed

Renewable energy could stabilize energy prices

Wind and solar are less prone to large-scale failure because they are distributed and modular. Distributed systems are spread out over a large geographical area, so a severe weather event in one location will not cut off power to an entire region.
