Energy Strategy for Sustainable Development of Gorj County

摘要

This study is an answer to the challenges of globalization in order to provide a living environment in a continuum temporal. On one hand, we take into consideration current social-economic, political and cultural constraints, as they are expressed in Romania - late consequences of the former totalitarian regime -, and on the other hand, a system of constraints required by the sustainable development. In elaborating the sustainable development strategy of Gorj County - Romanian territorial administrative unit - we take into consideration the double coordinate of the sustainable development vector: a) rationalization of non-renewable resources for a long-term and medium-term preservation of the current potential of Gorj and b) supporting energy consumptions by using alternative, renewable forms along with reparatory measures and actions, that are thoroughly scheduled. Therefore, economic efficiency is judged in other terms, making an evaluation from ex tunc (past and present) towards ex nunc (future), case in which total costs are not estimated only at the levels of restrictive-temporal costs (here and now) in order to achieve profit (case in which a sine dies transfer of total costs required by sustainable development is made) but, these total costs include concomitantly economic costs strictly connected to energy production and necessary costs for a living environment desirable for future generations, in which case the responsibility for full payment of these costs is borne by the administrative and political actors, economic agents at any moment.
