ENERGY -ENVIRONMENT-SOCIETY

Abstract

The risks and pollution formerly regarded as local hazards have recently obtained regional oreover global world-wide character. The inadequate utilization of energy implies hazards. There is a close relationship between the production and consumption of energy on the one hand and the living circumstances on t.he other hand. A significant increase in energy consumption can be expected in the following years. For the adequate solution of this problem a completely different attitude to the conception of energy production and energy consumption has needed. The present article analyses the environmental effects concerning the utilization of different energy sources and deals with the connection between energy and policies, and energy and society.
