Energy law and protection of the environment
Vohnoutová, Alena ; Damohorský, Milan (advisor) ; Sobotka, Michal (referee)

In the first chapter I divide sources of energy into the fossil, nuclear and renewable ones. Besides presenting the basic characteristics of such sources, I also deal with the time period in which the humankind will run out of their supplies, as well as with detrimental effects that their mining and processing have on the environment. Based on the classification included in the Act on the Promotion of Renewable Energy Sources, I continue with classifying the renewable energy sources to wind power, energy of water and solar radiation, geothermal energy, biomass and biogas.

The energy problem is critical for the whole world community. It is clear, that short-term global product deficit of oil causes uncontrolled growth of prices, and slowdown of global economy. The international energy security doesn't only consist in depletion of oil reserves, but also in prevention of regional crisis and political instability in countries producing oil, due to scarcity of free production capacity against fast growing global demand for oil.
