Evaluation of Economic, Social Effect of Renewable Energy Techologies

What is sustainability? Does it only concern the environment or even socio-economicpolicies? It is only a question of ethics or a redefinition of industrial policy orientedtowards the use of renewable energy, it can bring benefits both atmospheric and socialemployment. The need for the development of renewable sources can be in tune withthe correct management of the territory in consideration of the fact that these sourcesinvolve the widespread implementation of small and medium-sized plants. A model ofeconomic development based on renewable sources should respect the peculiarities andcharacteristics of the territories involved. It should also think of the territory as a "value"to be strengthened and used in a sustainable and integrated way and no longer as apassive platform on which to install plants. Solar thermal and photovoltaic, biomass,geothermal, hydrological, wind power are some of the sources the various countriesmust constantly invest. This publication is based on these concepts starting from ananalysis of the employment data of the OECD countries, comparing them successivelywith the results of renewable energy productivity. The analysis was carried out by analyzinga sample of 22 countries over a period of 20 years.
