| 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. |
