520 _aFossil fuels, being non-renewable, cannot be relied upon indefinitely, and their extensive use poses serious threats to the global environment, contributing to ecological imbalance. However, the shift from conventional sources of energy to sustainable energy has created a green energy paradox, evident in the Karbi Anglong hill district of Assam. While renewable energy initiatives aim for sustainability, they often lead to widespread land alienation for indigenous tribal communities. The pursuit of sustainable energy in Karbi Anglong comes at an unsustainable social and environmental cost, showcasing the resilience and resistance of the local population.-Reproduced https://www.epw.in/journal/commentary/sustainable-energy-unsustainable-cost.html
