dc.description.abstractObjective of this paper is to study the reality of sustainable development. It is important to study the sustainability of development and to evaluate the possibility of achieving it before the sustainability of its driving mechanism, which is energy, is evaluated. Atpresent the measures of the development are evaluated by energy indicators and environmental indicators, like energy intensity and carbon foot print. Today issues like resource scarcity and other environmental issues are to be assessed by these indicators whereas the inability to quantify the impacts of development using these indicators is considered as a nonstandard practice among the scientific community. Evaluation of the present global impacts due to development using these physical indicators which assess the material impact is questionable. Therefore it is to study the reality of evaluation of development using these indicators and to shift the development and energy from these narrow limits.en_US
