WISR Occasional Papers are articles written by WISR students, alumni,
and faculty on topics that are likely to be of strong interest to
many members of the WISR community, as well as to others beyond
WISR. These articles are reprinted and distributed by WISR with
the permission of the papers' authors. Soon, more of these articles
will be made available on this web page.
Abstract of the Paper: The terms "renewable energy"
and "sustainability" are being used interchangeably as
if synonymous with "green." These concepts overlap but
they do not always carry the same meaning in terms of sustainable
development. Sustainability means caring for the environment - the
green connotation, promoting social equity, and economic development.
Sources of renewable energy that do not fit these criteria should
not be considered sustainable. This new series of papers will address
specific topics in this emerging discipline with the aim of clarifying
the taxonomy and the social implications.
