Sustainable energy is the solution for our long-term development. In the ever growing transitional world, we find ourselves caught between a time dependent on fossil fuels and a future subjugated by renewable energy sources. Yet, not everyone holds the same vision. Opinions vary not only about how dependable these renewable energy sources are but also how they will be able to sustain life post-fossil fuel era. Integrated energy and information is needed to address this issue. This paper examines the vision of energy sustainability and reviews the status of the world energy industry with consideration of the utilization of renewable energy. A concept of correlation of energy and information is presented. It is believed that through the application of information entropy, energy production and utilization can be enhanced for a sustainable development.
