Energy sustainability evaluation of 30 provinces in China using the improved entropy weight-cloud model

Energy sustainability is one of the largest challenges for sustainable development. Energy sustainability in China varies by regions because of the differences in energy resources, technology and economic levels. Previous studies have assessed national energy sustainability, few to none have looked...
