Overview
Green technology and renewable energy continue to develop very rapidly, providing insights into the process of scientific and technological innovation, and its potential impacts.
However, such developments are also often controversial. For example, will the widespread development of wind farms make a significant contribution to our energy needs, or are the environmental costs too high? Should nuclear power be considered as a green technology?
Other key issues relate to the adoption of green technologies, analysis of their relative costs and benefits, and the creation of an enabling environment for scientific and technological innovation.
Together, consideration of such issues enables the principal overarching question to be addressed: to what extent can the transition to sustainable development be achieved through technological means?
