SUSTAINABLE ENERGY - WHAT IS IT?

I'm often asked what exactly is sustainable energy. The easiest definition is that, sustainable energy sources are most often regarded as including all renewable sources, such as biofuels, solar power, wind power, wave power and geothermal energy. This sets sustainable energy apart from other sustainable energy terminology such as alternative energy and renewable energy, by focusing on the ability to be fully sustainable. renewable energy is also distinct from Low-carbon energy, which is only sustainable in the sense that it does not add to the CO2 in the atmosphere.
