Effective energy policy, at national and international levels, addresses minimizing the economic, geopolitical and environmental problems of energy use, while enhancing the benefits of providing adequate energy to all. It is unrealistic that such policies can be implemented completely and quickly, but work progresses on various aspects:
- Efficient use of energy from all sources
- Renewable energy
- Locally produced or efficiently transmitted sustainable energy
- Reduction of environmentally harmful byproducts of energy generation
- Improvements in the transmission of electrical or thermal energy, and of the transportation of stored energy
- Reduction of fossil fuel importation
