What is Sustainable Energy?

For many the terms “sustainable energy†or “green energy†are magic buzzwords without any real meaning behind them. Talking heads on the television throw the words around without taking a moment to explain what they mean. Put simply, sustainable energy or green energy refers to energy sources that are not finite. In other words, they will never run out.

The most notable examples of sustainable energy are solar panels and windmills. One of the most important things about green energy is that it is also clean energy. That means it won’t pollute the way other types of energy production such as coal and oil do.
