Energy development is the ongoing effort to provide abundant and accessible energy, through knowledge, skills and constructions.
When harnessing energy from primary energy sources and converting them into ever more convenient secondary energy forms, such as electrical energy and cleaner fuels, both quantity (harnessing more primary energy) and quality (more efficient conversion to secondary energy) are important.
