Sustainable energy is a form of energy which is considered sustainable, meaning that the usage of such energy can potentially be kept up well into the future without causing harmful repercussions for future generations. A number of types of energy can be thought of as sustainable, and many governments promote the use of sustainable energy and the development of new types of energy generating technology which fit within this model. Increasing rates of energy consumption around the world have led to a corresponding rise in concerns about where this energy comes from. Several factors go into making energy sustainable. The first is whether or not the current use of the energy is something which could potentially persist into the future, which leads many forms of renewable energy to qualify as sustainable. People can generate energy from windmills, waves, and the Sun without running out of energy and resources, making these methods sustainable for use by future generations. By contrast, fos
Sustainable development, according to the Brundtland Report, can be defined as “development which meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs”. Sustainable development should minimise environmental damage and take into account that some non-renewable fuels must be preserved for the future, whilst promoting renewables as the way forward in energy production. The issue of sustainable energy has become increasingly important, as concern about the effects of economic growth on natural resources and the environment have been noted. Since the Industrial Revolution, national wealth has been immediately linked with access to fossil fuels. In the 18th Century coal became crucial in Britain and soon throughout the world. Oil became vital with the introduction of the automobile, and natural gas as a cleaner domestic and industrial fuel. Energy efficiency, in its role in reducing the threat of climate change, is the main building bl
