The use or existence of renewable energy is not directly related to carbon emissions. Ghana had a 3.54% carbon footprint in 2016, while Africa's global compounded carbon footprint is expected to be 3.8% by 2021. This means that Africa's contribution to the total of 76% of CO2 emissions is extremely small.

Renewable energy sources are more of a convenience factor than a global concern. In remote villages, using a solar-paneled lamp at night is easier and safer than using a kerosene lamp. How much more expensive is kerosene today compared to 20 years ago?

Renewable energy will not be able to replace conventional energy. Take note that the amount of fossil fuels used to manufacture an electric car's battery is greater than the amount used to drive 60 (average fuel consumption) cars over a 100km road.

For a family, having a well dug within their property is safer and easier than having the kids run to the streams at night out of a rampant fear of watercraft. Renewable energy sources play an important role.

How many years do we need to wait for geothermal sources?

Is electricity, by the way, not derived from a renewable source? Dams are used to generate electricity from naturally flowing streams that are fed by an inland flow of water.

The more living things die, the more biomass there is. Renewables will always be a question, as old as recycling and as new as 7th generation electric vehicles.
