Relationship of the residents of Rzeszów to renewable energy sources

Abstract

Over the years, we have been observing faster development of the economy. Its development drives the extraction of fossil raw materials and contributes to the implementation of new technologies. Resources are limited, which increases the cost of their extraction. The depletion of fossil raw materials leads to a reduction in the profitability of investments and entails high mining costs. Energy obtained from conventional energy sources has a negative impact on the natural environment. As a result of burning these raw materials, large amounts of carbon dioxide and sulfur get into the atmosphere, which intensifies the greenhouse effect. The advantage of operating renewable energy sources is their lower environmental impact. Using water, wind and sun, we can obtain energy in an unconventional way, thanks to which we protect the environment and save ecosystems that we have left. The research results indicate the growing awareness of the inhabitants of Rzeszow in this respect.
