Soft energy path

A soft energy path is a way of using energy in a more sustainable way. It means using less energy and using it more efficiently. This could include using renewable energy, like solar and wind power, and doing things like upgrading buildings, like making them more insulated so they use less energy to heat and cool. It also means finding ways to use energy more efficiently, like using energy-efficient appliances that use less energy to do the same job. This helps us reduce the amount of energy we use, while still getting the things we need.
