Issues

The safety of the energy we use is a crucial factor to consider in its implementation and usage. We need to look at both the impact on human and environmental health. For example, even renewable sources such as wind energy can damage local bird populations. Fossil fuel smog can harm human respiratory health. Nuclear Energy is clean, but the waste can be difficult to store. 

One of the most currently talked about factors in the energy world is how we can improve environmental sustainability. With the ongoing issue of climate change, this discussion is more important than ever. We have to be mindful of the emissions that energy sources produce and their impact on the overall health of our planet. Environmental sustainability is not just about emissions, it is also about the availability of resources in the long term.

In our pursuit of environmental safety and sustainability, we cannot forget the importance of the economic realities of the energy we choose to utilize. For example, nuclear power is incredibly productive but very costly.
