The types of energy we use and how we use them are central factors in determining to what extent we are moving towards a more sustainable society.
Our dependence on nonrenewable fuel causes pollution and environmental degradation.
Sustainable development depends on research and development into appropriate, cost effective and cost recoverable technologies and how these new technologies and new energy systems interact with existing economic and social frameworks.
