GEOTHERMAL WATERS AS A CHANCE FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF POLAND AND PROPER LIFE OF POLISH PEOPLE

Abstract

In this paper the utilisation of geothermal energy against the
long lasting development of mankind had been discussed.
The gradual replacing of the energy coming from muscles of
creatures and heat sources like the Sun in XIX and XX century
had been emphasized. The harms caused by utilisation of
fossil fuels are shown as well as climatic and environmental
hazards, including environment of human being. The conditions
of geothermal energy occurrence in Poland had been
discussed. Poland has one of the larges geothermal energy
resources in Europe and these resources together with resources
of gas, oil and coal can make our country self-sufficient
with regard to acquiring the energy. Besides, three versions
of development of geoenergetics until 2020 year are presented.
The realisation of these versions could let to cover of
energy demand by energy coming from renewable resources
available in Poland in second part of XXI century. It would be
the basis for creation of much better conditions of work and
life for Polish society and could stop the decrease of quantity
(number) of Polish population.
