sustainable energy

Type: Concept

As of November 2026, sustainable energy has been mentioned in 2 episodes across 1 podcast, first heard Nov 2025 on The Diary Of A CEO. Discussed in the context of global energy policies and climate change.

Energy is sustainable if it "meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs." Definitions of sustainable energy usually look at its effects on the environment, the economy, and society. These impacts range from greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution to energy poverty and toxic waste. Renewable energy sources such as wind, hydro, solar, and geothermal energy can cause environmental damage but are generally far more sustainable tha
