Abstract

Sustainable development, protection of environment, struggling against starvation and poverty, inhibition of terrorism and anarchy, and efficient supply of energy are the main topics of modern world and society as declared in United Nations General Assembly for multiple times. And these political discussions are generally based on developmental conditions of countries, cultures and religions in historic perspective and protection of possible environmental disasters. Generally, population and economic growth have been mentioned together with accumulation of wastes. The basic variables and indexes are Gross Domestic Products (GDP) is a purchasing power parities and CO2 emission values. The two variables are correlated to forecast the future trends. In this study, a broad perspective has been tried to be constructed in the politics of renewable energy resources by linking the economy, ecology and energy terms which are called 3 E’s in literature. Sometimes instead of energy, equity is used. A connection was supplied from the most general ones to least specials by warp and weft style. Here, starting from sustainability, socio-scientific issues, production, wastes, ecology, sociology, energy are connected and interrelated in holistic manner by considering economy and industy. By this way, new insights can be obtained and deduced for better inhabitable world peacefully.
