Thoughts about the Clear Energy

Abstract

The life of humanity has become faster in the 20th century. Due to globalization technology has improved a great deal, every decade had its own revolutionary invention. However, globalization has its drawbacks as well, which have an impact on every field of life. These challenges must be met by humanity. One of these global challenges is the energy crisis and energy dependency. In the last decade a research involving experts was carried out which ranked the challenges humanity faces. The problems analysed involved such key fields as education or discrimination. According to the findings the highest ranked issue is energy supply, which means, according to experts, this is the most crucial problem for what we need a solution. In this research we introduce how university students look at alternative energy sources. The findings are compared to the results of two previously carried out researches. Providing information about alternative energy sources is an excellent solution to change attitudes and such a change is absolutely necessary since the students of one of our most reputable universities, the Corvinus University of Budapest, have much less knowledge of the topic than the desireable level. Making up for the shortcomings is an extremely important task as it is required for a social cooperation which is needed in order to solve humanity’s most important problem in the 21st century, the energy crisis.
