This guy is right on, it's time to stop calling clean energy "clean energy". That term makes it sound like the differentiating aspects of wind and solar as compared to coal, gas and oil, is that the new stuff has lower carbon output. That's true, but it's not the point anymore. Wind and solar are so efficient, and so cheap that there's no need to market them on their environmental impact, so dump clean energy. Here are some ideas I'm just throwing out there for new terms:
New Energy
Tech Energy
Cheap Energy
Durable Energy
Efficient Energy
- sxates 8y ago"Renewable Energy" maybe?
- ekun 8y ago"Renewable energy" is a perfect term, but I think that it has the same negative connotation for the people who have an aversion to the term "clean energy".
- naasking 8y agoOr even "free energy" if you want to go really eye-catching. Or "independent/freedom energy" to highlight that building up renewables pushes independence from resources provided by foreign nations. Along those lines, how about "secure energy" since energy independence is a national security issue as well.
