The majority of oil and gas sources are concentrated in certain regions, many of which are getting more technically challenging and more expensive to reach, whereas renewable energy is domestic.

Gas, fossil fuels and other energy alternatives each with their unique advantages, collectively pose a threat to power plant operators and end users: volatility and insecurity of price.
