The role of the renewable resources in local development: The case of geothermal water energy exploitation in Oradea, Romania

Economic development in the new century faces the challenge of declining geological resources. While there continues to be a direct link between the per capita energy use and the living standard, the concerm now is for enhanced consumer safety and environmental protection. In this process, alternat...
