摘要

Being one of the most important elements of social evolution, energy has a vital role for a sustainable economy and development. Energy has great importance to level up the welfare. With this importance countries having rich resources can apply energy as a political tool. While needs of energy is increasing, sources to respond this need is very limited. So countries seek for alternative resources to meet their needs. Renewable energy sources have firstly taken into consideration. Being clean and belonging to countries own sources, renewable energy resources have been widely applied during the last decades. But renewable energy can't meet all the expectation of energy needs. In this respect, energy efficiency can be seen as an alternative. Energy efficiency can minimize energy consumption without degrading standard of living, lessening quality of products and without increasing energy bills. In this article energy resources, SWOT analysis of renewable sources and energy efficiency topics are mainly discussed in order to describe future of energy.
