合理使用能源对子孙后代的长期可持续性至关重要。人类未来的繁荣取决于为所有公民提供的能源教育的质量，以及科学家和工程师在设计和应用污染较少、能源效率较高的技术方面取得的进展。不幸的是，很少有人获得了足够的知识，关于能源的使用及其对环境的影响，因为“能源”这个广泛的主题还没有被教导在一个连贯的方式。特别是，人们普遍不知道我们为什么以及如何减少对化石燃料的依赖，这阻碍了我们朝着更节能社会的理想发展。为了克服这种能源“无知”、“文盲”、“不识数”或“冷漠”，需要在我们的教育系统中以更全面和更连贯的方式更有力地宣传相关的能源教育。
The rational use of energy is essential for the long-term sustainability of future generations. Man's future prosperity depends upon the quality of energy education provided for all citizens, as well as the progress made by scientists and engineers in devising and applying less polluting, more energy-efficient technologies. Unfortunately, few individuals have acquired an adequate knowledge with respect to energy use and its environmental consequences, because the broad subject of ‘energy’ has not been taught in a coherent manner. In particular, the desirable evolution towards a more energy-effective society is inhibited by widespread ignorance as to exactly why and how we should become less dependent on fossil fuels. To overcome this energy ‘innocence’, ‘illiteracy’, ‘innumeracy’ or ‘apathy’, relevant energy education needs to be promulgated, with greater vigour, in a more comprehensive and coherent manner throughout our education system.
