This article evaluates the existing energy policy in Iran, focusing on the nation’s heavy reliance on fossil fuels and the implications of such dependency. With one of the world’s highest energy intensities, Iran’s energy consumption significantly overshadows its economic output, largely due to subsidized energy prices that discourage efficient use. This study highlights the economic, environmental, and societal challenges stemming from this unsustainable energy consumption, including excessive natural resource depletion, environmental degradation, and economic inefficiencies. It proposes a strategic shift toward renewable energy sources, especially solar and wind carriers, outlining necessary domestic and foreign policy changes to facilitate this transition. The study’s findings indicate that certain modifications to Iran’s domestic and foreign policy are required. These include reorganizing energy pricing and regulations, increasing public awareness, enhancing energy efficiency, and promoting international collaborations to facilitate the advancement of cleaner energy technologies. |
