Abstract:

During the last years, the public opinion has increasingly expressed the economic and social needs. Everyone should have access to the facilities that improve the quality of life such as economic security, health, education, freedom and political representation. Everyone has economic and social needs that should be fulfilled. Renewable resources can regenerate and can be indefinitely used if they are managed properly. One the renewable resources are consumed at a rate that exceeds their natural regeneration rate, they shall diminish and eventually run out. Renewable resources can resist accordingly to their regeneration rate and the available quantity.  During the last 20 years a new interest area came up: the problems related to the environment. The efforts to improve the quality of life resulted in the deterioration of the environment. While the climate changes, the forests disappear, the pollution degree increases, and it is obvious that we should pay more attention to the environment in order to avoid the high price of living without the support of the environment.

In the first part of the current paper, we reviewed the potential and the role of renewable energy of Romania by referring to specific specialty studies in the analyzed area. In the second part we created a simple regression model based on the correlation of final energy consumption and the Romanian Gross Domestic Product in order to illustrate the energetic efficiency of the country. In the last part, we underlined certain relevant conclusions regarding the renewable resources potential and their impact on the quality of life in Romania.
