Abstract:
Using alternative energy sources is already a reality in the current context of energy crisis and climate change due to the pollution created by burning fossil fuels. Parallel to the development and expansion of research on the use of renewable energy sources is important as the training of future specialists in this field. It is also important among the younger generation implementation of an education on environmental protection and reducing energy coming from traditional polluting sources. A key role in this respect is the school that is for any society the vector of sustainable development. This paper evaluates the need and the current approach to the study of alternative energies, especially solar energy, in the Romanian school. The conclusions of the paper were obtained from a study carried out between February and April 2011 on (a total of) 230 people from different backgrounds and different ages. We also discussed issues about the impact of teaching the unconventional energy sources on society evolution, the causes for which at this moment the subject is treated poorly in Romanian school and possible solutions to correct
this situation.
