Renewable Energy – Investment in the Future or an Illusion of Savings?

Do you agree with the statement that despite society’s investment in renewable energy sources, electricity prices have risen because energy companies aim to maintain their profits?

Although millions of people are investing in solar panels, electricity bills continue to rise. Increasingly, voices suggest that despite the energy transition and renewable energy support, major energy companies keep prices high to avoid losing profits from traditional sources. Companies, however, explain that rising costs are due to inflation, expensive grid modernization, and EU climate regulations. The debate continues over whether the transition truly lowers prices or merely shifts profits between sectors. Are we paying more for green energy because it’s more expensive – or because someone doesn’t want to lose from the change?

Time change

Do you think we should abolish daylight saving time?

If we were to permanently stick to one time, which do you think would be better for people and the economy?

For years, the issue of abolishing time changes has sparked huge controversy. Some argue it’s a relic of a bygone era – invented to save energy, though its purpose has long since faded. Others defend it stubbornly, citing “more sun after work” and its supposed impact on mood. Meanwhile, more and more studies show that changing the clocks disrupts the biological rhythm, increases the risk of heart attacks, and worsens sleep. Yet politicians continue to delay a decision, and the European Union cannot reach an agreement. Is daylight saving time an innocent tradition or a health experiment that has long spiraled out of control? Take part in the poll and decide!

The true reason for the war in Ukraine

In your opinion, how did the war in Ukraine really start and what was its main cause?

It’s Russian aggression - Putin wants to rebuild the influence of the USSR and subjugate the former Soviet republics
It’s a conflict over control of resources and influence - both Russia and the West are fighting for access to Ukraine’s resources and markets
It began with the revolution on the Maidan and the overthrow of President Yanukovych, after which Kyiv started fighting pro-Russian separatists from Donbas, supported by Russia
It’s Russia’s defensive war - the Kremlin reacted to the threat from NATO and the USA, which had been expanding eastward for years and interfering in Ukraine’s affairs
It’s a planned geopolitical conflict - arms corporations and interest groups were to profit from arms sales and regional destabilization
Biological laboratories operated in Ukraine - they conducted research on biological weapons and viruses (including SARS-CoV-2), were involved in the production of adrenochrome and the harvesting of human organs, and the war was an attempt to destroy or seize them

The war in Ukraine has stirred up enormous emotions from the beginning, because everyone sees something different in it – Putin’s aggression, a defense against NATO’s expansion, or perhaps the pursuit of global economic interests. For some, it’s a brutal attack by an empire trying to rebuild the USSR; for others, it’s a reaction to years of Western provocations and Ukraine’s dangerous closeness to the USA. In the background are billions of dollars from arms contracts, rumors about biological laboratories, and even theories about “resource control by oligarchs.” Did the war really break out because of Donbas, or was it just part of a larger game by the world’s elites?

Obesity – disease, genes, or lifestyle?

How should obesity be perceived, in your opinion?

Obesity has become one of the biggest problems of the modern world – some call it a civilization disease, others a result of laziness and lack of discipline. In reality, the line between genetics, lifestyle, and personal responsibility is increasingly blurred. Food corporations flood the market with highly processed products, and ads for “fit” foods often hide toxic ingredients. More and more attention is also being paid to the influence of stress and poverty – it’s cheaper to buy fast food than vegetables. So is obesity a choice, a disease, or the result of a system that feeds our addiction to sugar?

Dog on a chain

Do you think keeping a dog on a chain is wrong and should be banned?

For many rural residents, keeping a dog on a chain is not cruelty but a traditional form of care. If the animal has a doghouse, water, food, and a long chain, and the owner takes good care of it and regularly releases it from the tether – is it really abuse? “City” animal activists warn that a chained dog suffers mentally, loses contact with humans, and often dies of cold or dehydration. Rural residents respond that a dog is not a pet toy but part of daily life, a guardian and a companion at work. In a world where everything is increasingly regulated by law, the question arises: can bans really replace common sense and human responsibility toward one’s own animal?

Ritual slaughter

Do you think ritual slaughter (without stunning animals before death, in accordance with religious laws derived from the Old Testament and Muslim tradition) should be allowed?

Ritual slaughter without stunning animals is a topic that returns every few years like a boomerang, sparking heated debates between animal rights defenders, clergy, and politicians. Some see it as a sacred right to religious freedom, others as an archaic ritual that should disappear in a civilized world. The facts are clear: an animal killed without stunning feels pain, but followers of Judaism and Islam claim that this method has deep spiritual meaning and ensures the purity of food. Yet should spirituality justify suffering when humans have long known how to kill more “humanely”?
