United Nations has developed seventeen indicators for sustainable development and use of renewable energy is one among them (United Nations, 2015)(sustainabledevelopment-goals-united-nations, 2015).Nobel Prize, 2018 for Economics was given to William Nordhaus and Paul Romer for their excellent work on environmental economics (nobel-prize-in-economics, 2018).
