What does sustainability mean to you when discussing energy in the UK?

Well l am not really sure l don’t know what it means or understand the meaning. so can’t help you anyway.

That question seems extremely strange in the way it was written.

Please re-phrase it so it’s easier for us to know what you’re asking.

I believe what ever we do in this country, unless the mass polluters in the rest of the world do something we are wasting our time and will achieve nothing.

Hi @Queenlateephat, if you have any main points you would like to canvass opinion on, I for one might feel up to offering a personal but somewhat diffident response…I would like to know, though, the reason behind your posing this rather large question?  School essay? Casual curiosity? 

Certainly a strange first question posted on this forum for reasons unknown by someone (or perhaps even bot) who only registered today is probably best answered by that person posing the same question to Google (other search engines are available) if they were that interested. Perhaps this is an AI entity sent to test us 😎

It does seem that way.

Well, if it becomes a problem then it’s easy enough for Tim to either:

1. Just nuke all “low quality” AI bot generated threads
2. Update the House Rules to ban AI Generated content outright

Agree with @waltyboy, such a vague question. New member @Queenlateephat ? (Queen Latipha).  Is this a spoof or something more sinister. Sustainability is not limited to the "UK community". 

The poor grammar in this question concerns me. Recommend we ignore this. For me it appears politically based rather than concern for customers.

And that is an amazingly good answer. :P

(Question forcibly removed from open questions feed)

To me words like " sustainability" are predominantly,  meaningless marketing fluff.

The classic definition of sustainability came out of a landmark report from the United Nations. In 1987, the UN defined sustainable development as ‘meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs’.

Regarding energy in the UK, this would mean providing all the energy that households, businesses, hospitals, transport etc. need without causing significant and irreparable damage to the environment. Usually, people tend to focus on climate change (net zero, limiting to 1.5C etc.) but we should include other types of damage such as those caused by mining, drilling and discharging into waterways.

I hope that helps.

Some interesting and helpful responses here @Queenlateephat. Does that help answer your question? If not, is there any specific points you’d like us to cover and we’ll do our best to answer them.

Well l don’t know what it means either sustainable. so can’t help either.Probably nothing to do with energy or a topic of some description.
