What do you think about nuclear energy? An opinion poll among Czech students January 2004 Marie Dufkova, Czech Power Company CEZ
What do you think about the connection between the standard of living and energy consumption ? standard of living can improve without increasing energy consumption if we want to improve the standard of living, the energy consumption must inevitably increase if we want to reduce energy consumption, the standard of living must inevitably drop
Which energy source is the final solution to the energy demand of humankind? fossil fuels Sun, wind, sea nuclear energy - fission and fusion
What do you think about nuclear power industry in the Czech Republic? its share should decrease its share should increase its share should remain the same
What is the main advantage of nuclear energy? raw materials for nuclear fuel are relatively abundant it does not produce any greenhouse gasses that cause global warming coal and petroleum are too precious raw materials to be combusted unnecessarily
What is the main disadvantage of the nuclear power industry? risk of accident nuclear waste large investments
Arguments of nuclear opponents: are justified are not justified cannot be overlooked
Humankind should prioritise energy sources which: ensure the longest possible production of energy generate the most cost-effective energy generate minimum pollution
What is the most serious risk for the future of humanity? lack of energy sources global warming growing population
Which three environmental changes do you regard as the most serious issues? spreading of deserts damaged ozone layer shrinkage of virgin nature sea pollution radioactive contamination resulting from nuclear power plant accident climatic changes acid rains
Do you know why and how the Chernobyl accident occurred? as a result of technology failure I don´t know a series of subsequent mistakes on the part of the servicing personnel
