Treba li Hrvatskoj strategija razvitka energetike i ako treba tko ce je izraditi?

The planning of power supply development must be coordinated with the development plans of other economic activities (urbanization, industry, traffic and and agriculture). It is impossible to establish a power supply development without establishment of elements for the entire development of economy. Planning must start with real comprehension of the existing conditions. The experiences of developed Europe should be used in planning. The numerous mistakes in the past, giving too much significance to the gas exports and its uneconomic exploitation, occurrences connected with continuation of construction of the power plant Plomin 2 (it has been spent too much money so far, a lot more is still necessary, and the public is against further construction), sudden wishes of HEP (Croatian electric power supply) to build the thermo-power plant on the location of Obrovac and resistance of public, disturbances of public by the "necessity" to build the repositories for the import of radio-active factory rejects, and shutting the door to utilization of nuclear power, show the necessity of profound change in the approach to energetics with us. It is necessary to establish integral institutes for power supply, financed from the Republic budget and not depending upon interests of energetic groups, in order to create fundamentals for the rational decision-making of the state in this important activity.
