geothermal energy Poland has very good geothermalconditions, as 80% of the country falls within the 3 geothermaldivisions. Poland
Non-renewablesources of energy in Poland With the increase in world population, resources of our planetdiminish. Their exhaustion will lead to huge changes in our lives. Poland
coal and lignite Coal is a strategic resource in Poland becauseit caters to 65% of energy needs of the country. Polish coal and lignite resources are among the largest in the world. Poland
petroleum Poland is a country poor in petroleum. The main extraction region is Polish Lowlands, where are 42 of 84 proven reserves in the country. Poland

The diseases, which can manifest themselvesat a later date include: - Skin cancer; - Leukemia; - Gastrointestinal disease; - Bone disease; Poland
The radiation can be deadly to humans, this is definitely a threat toourspecies. Poland
Soon run out of non-renewable energy sources. What then? Poland
