Transitioning to renewable energy systems might not entail a decline in net energy

Energy researchers have been trying to understand the implications of a transition to fully renewable energy for decades. Some past studies suggested that technologies to generate energy from renewable energy sources, such as solar panels and wind turbines, might not generate as much net energy (i.e., the energy remaining after accounting for the energy consumed to generate power) as their long-standing fossil fuel-reliant counterparts.
