Energy covers surveys on energy sources, prices, energy security and climate policy. This category examines public views on renewables, conventional power and the direction of market transition.

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?

No – the increase in prices results from inflation, grid modernization costs, and the energy transition, not from deliberate actions by energy companies
Yes – regardless of citizens’ investments, energy companies have raised prices to preserve their previous profit levels
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?

Explosions at refineries in Hungary and Romania
How do you think the simultaneous explosions at the MOL (Hungary) and Lukoil (Romania) refineries should be interpreted?

Operation by NATO or the USA - a provocation aimed at justifying further military involvement in the region
Operation by Russian intelligence - an attempt to intimidate EU countries supporting Ukraine and a warning signal to the West
Coincidence and technical failures - old installations, lack of investment, and routine at work are a recipe for disaster
Internal political provocation - the governments of Orbán and Bucharest need a “crisis” to consolidate power
Ukrainian sabotage - retaliation for the supply of Russian oil to Central Europ
The simultaneous explosions at the MOL refinery in Hungary and the Lukoil refinery in Romania have sparked a wave of speculation unseen in Central Europe for a long time. Official versions speak of technical failures and human errors, but many note that such “coincidences” are rarely truly accidental. In the background looms geopolitics – the war in Ukraine, tensions within NATO, and Europe’s energy dependence on Russia. Is this a warning sent by the Kremlin, Ukrainian sabotage, or perhaps a provocation meant to maintain the narrative of a “threat from the East”? Opinions are extreme, and emotions are running high. What’s your view? Take part in the poll and judge who might really have benefited.

Historical ozone hole and UV radiation
Do you think the threat associated with the ozone hole and UV radiation was exaggerated by the media?

Yes - it was an environmental panic. The ozone hole issue served as a pretext to introduce new regulations and boost sales of “UV filter” products, while cheap freons were replaced with more expensive substitutes
No - the threat was real. Limiting the emission of freons helped stop the destruction of the ozone layer, and sunglasses with UV filters as well as protective creams actually reduce the risk of skin and eye damage
The ozone hole was one of the biggest media scare stories of the late 20th century. For years, there was talk of burns, skin cancer, and the end of life on Earth – yet today the topic has almost disappeared from the headlines. Is that proof that international actions truly worked, or rather that the whole phenomenon was deliberately exaggerated to push through costly regulations and create new markets for “eco-friendly” products? Many believe that the chemical and cosmetics lobbies profited the most from this global panic. And you – do you believe in a miracle of atmospheric recovery or in clever manipulation?

Sanctions imposed on Russia
How do you assess the effectiveness of the economic sanctions imposed on Russia after the invasion of Ukraine?

Hard to say - the effectiveness of the sanctions is limited. Russia has successfully redirected trade to China, India, and other countries, while some Western companies and governments continue cooperation through unofficial channels
Positively - the sanctions are having an effect. Russia’s economy is gradually weakening, and its access to Western technologies and finances is becoming increasingly restricted
Negatively - the sanctions are having the opposite effect. It is Europe that bears the greatest cost, struggling with high energy prices and an economic slowdown
Economic sanctions against Russia following the invasion of Ukraine were meant to be an economic blow that would paralyze Putin’s state. Reality turned out to be more complex. While the Kremlin has lost access to Western technologies and financial markets, its economy has not collapsed – it has shifted to trade with China, India, and the so-called Western “gray zone.” Meanwhile, Europe pays for its own decisions: more expensive energy, industrial recession, and rising food prices. Have sanctions thus become a tool of pressure on Moscow, or rather a double-edged sword that also struck those who created it? Take part in the poll and judge for yourself.

Nord Stream explosion – who really stands behind the sabotage
Which country could have been behind the Nord Stream pipeline explosion?

USA – it was a CIA operation carried out with the support of Norwegian special forces
Ukraine – the German investigation points to a group of Ukrainian divers and former SBU officer
Poland – the investigation mentions the charter of the boat "Andromeda" by a company registered in Poland
Russia – it was the only one with the technical capabilities and motive to intimidate Europe and raise gas prices
The Nord Stream explosion is one of the greatest geopolitical mysteries of recent years and a topic that divides public opinion even more than the war in Ukraine itself. Official investigations point to Ukrainian threads – a group of divers and connections with former SBU officers. On the other hand, Seymour Hersh’s high-profile report accuses the US and Norway of a joint operation involving the CIA and special units. Russia still looms as the main suspect – it had both the technology and the motive to blackmail Europe with gas prices. And Poland appears in the background, since the boat Andromeda used in the operation was registered there. Sabotage, energy war, or a provocation meant to conceal the real perpetrators?

EU–Mercosur Agreement – benefit or threat?
How do you assess the plan to ratify the EU–Mercosur trade agreement, taking into account economic gains and controversies around agriculture and pesticides?

Dangerous solution - the agreement creates double standards for farmers (pesticides, meat), which could lead to the collapse of many European farms and accelerate the degradation of the Amazon
Partially beneficial - the agreement should be adopted, but only with the introduction of long-term safeguards for farmers, strengthened quality control of imported products, and effective protection of the Amazon
Beneficial solution - lifting tariffs and access to 260 million consumers will bring the EU economy greater benefits than potential risks
The EU–Mercosur trade deal has divided public opinion and politicians for years. On the one hand, opening the market to 260 million consumers from South America would mean huge opportunities for European exporters, especially in the automotive and technology industries. On the other hand, farmers warn of a flood of cheap meat and soybeans produced with pesticides banned in Europe. Critics even speak of “double standards” and a betrayal of European agriculture, while environmentalists warn that the agreement will accelerate the destruction of the Amazon. Free trade supporters counter that the EU economy cannot afford isolation. So is this deal a strategic opportunity, or an ecological and social trap?
