Sustainably, in the ecological sense, has little to do with the energy source. Wheter its wood, coal, oil, hydro or solar, they can all be unsustainable. Cars have an ecological footprnt upon the earth that can't be sustainable (urban sprawl, etc). A good target would be an 80-90% reduction
Clean energy might help deal with emissions, but it does nothing to reverse deforestation, overfishing, soil depletion and mass extinction. A growth-obsessed economy powered by clean energy will still tip us into ecological disaster.” - Jason Hickel
