Abstract

Due to the consequences of the fossil era, humanity faces developmental and environmental issues of how to meet resource needs. Green energy from RES has solved all major environmental problems for several years. At the same time, the question of the impact of production on the environment arises. The hydropower segment, with its negative effects on the environment and space, calls into question the fundamental idea of ​​green energy as an environment-, nature- and people-friendly alternative. In the article, I want to present the negative consequences of the construction of a hydroelectric power plant on the middle Sava, which, if placed in the last untouched part of our longest river, would cause irreversible environmental and social consequences.

In the article, the author constructively and critically discusses the field of new forms of energy. The so-called green energies are becoming an important economic and political subject, which can represent an additional burden through environmental and spatial influences. The burdens represent a significant departure from sustainability policies, which are supposed to be based on the balance of economic, energy, social and above all environmental indicators.

In today's turbulent time, when on a limited planet, due to the needs of a consumer society, conflicts arise for resources of various forms, it is necessary to critically question new forms of energy and the placement of objects in space.

Keyphrases: Energy, Hydropower, balance, consumption, green energies, river, ustainability
