• The United Nations Climate Change Conference, 3-14 December 2007, though achieves not much in making nation states' reduction of greenhouse gases; it does make the alternative development initiatives as main-streaming, the alternative-clean energy in particular. This paper attempts to explore the efforts and initiatives (by society, the state and market) for synergizing alternative-clean energy and the local needs for self-sufficiency, in terms of ethical and normative considerations by people. It examines the intertwined dynamics of the socio-ethical and normative construction(s) for alternative-clean technology, and the socio-cultural conditions, in/through which shape the socio-ecological defined 'self-sufficiency' policy option(s) for nation / local state, at this historical conjuncture for bio-local-regionalism. After an introduction on the recent (enlightenment for sustainable) development for, or the re-discovery of, the alternative-clean energy, Part 2 of the paper critically examines the embeddedness of the alternative-clean energy/technology development, with specific reference to the socio-ethical and normative-cultural construction(s) on the arguable, ambiguous concepts of the sustainability and self-sufficiency. Part 3 discusses the ethical interfaces, as well as the interfacing process, between the praxis of bio-regionalism and the search for energy in-dependence, highlighting the role of policy learning at transnational (inter-state system) level. The paper ends with critical remarks on the emerging alternative-clean energy regime, for ecological modernization, towards eco-modernity.
