Sustainability for climate change

Energy quality is a type of energy accounting, a balance sheet of energy return on energy invested. The energy quality of oil is extraordinarily large.

And then, like any other company, energy companies are under immense pressure to show revenue to their shareholders. This is the actual challenge, and also what drives politics around the world. The western world blames developing countries like China and India for increased energy consumption, while present energy consumption by the Western world is already above the threshold limits. There are two options: either the world fights politically by blaming each other while consuming the same quanta of energy or listen to the wise saying of fighting together for a common cause of a problem and finding sustainable solutions for the present gloomy situation of global warming. The sustainable energy solutions lie in harnessing nuclear energy, bio energy, geothermal energy, wind energy, energy from the waves of the oceans, etc. Every option has very limited energy quality against oil in present but will be competent in future times according to many speculations. To find the sustainable solution, one needs to answer the question: How can energy producing and distribution companies behave responsibly – towards the environment and towards customers?
