The optimal technological choice for sustainable development lies in renewable energy sources (RES). However, the potential offered by RES utilization poses significant challenges mobile technologies and everyday living. Despite extensive research information highlighting benefits of energy, there remains considerable debate, limited awareness persists. advantages are not fully comprehended, raising concerns about its consistent application. Regrettably, lack knowledge a fundamental understanding hinders effective dissemination. To gauge attitudes residents regions where is employed, this study employed questionnaire authored researcher. was conducted between June 2022 January 2023, with total 12,428 participants completing survey. sampling method utilized an online form distributed via various social media channels among local contacts authors Poland, Sweden, France. Gender allocation: 58% male 42% female. Respondents shared their perspectives on ecology disclosed familiarity utilization. Results indicate public skepticism regarding adequacy security measures level use. Insufficient experts, advocacy, reliance contribute to low awareness. In several EU countries, absence widely accepted easily accessible (RES) sharing adoption. EU’s efforts promote through directives subsidies, rural communities these countries often adequate education technologies. This gap contributes unfavorable perceptions, some viewing renewables as unreliable or economically unfeasible options compared traditional like coal natural gas. Additionally, bureaucratic hurdles inconsistent government policies further complicate transition discouraging investment innovation sector. As result, while aims future, barriers impede widespread growth hinder progress towards climate targets. Poland found that 76% respondents expressed favorable perceptions RES, indicating general inclination adopting clean solutions. analysis uncovered high environmental participants, 85% expressing concern degradation. awareness, 62% reported reservations affordability derived from sources. 48% uncertainty ambivalence RES.
