There is a huge potential in the field of renewable energy sources, which could be used. If the world would successfully undertake changing over to alternative energy, we will attract the interest of small and big enterprisers, energy-utilities and entire society in this process. There is a need when integrating in particular energy policy, industrial policy, climate change policy, to promote and guarantee long-term strategic holistic approach to energy production and use planning agriculture policy, rural and urban development policy, transport policy, environment policy, fiscal and social policies fully in line with the concept of sustainable development and under the condition of good governance at global, regional, national and local levels. The challenge is to strengthen, to improve and to coordinate international energy governance that is currently fragmented. Its diversified and autonomous components are competing each with other. Coordination amongst them, transparent and fair communication and collaboration with governments, transnational corporations, producers and users – citizens of the Earth, social affordability of energy access are vital for energy safety, energy security and for achieving over-arching target to have in future really sustainable energy.
