However, the energy mix of the Czech Republic and Austria is very different. Austria is on a good path to be sustainable, whereas the situation in the Czech Republic is rather controversial. Electricity production is highly influenced by geographical conditions that prevail in each country. The other factors that influence the energy mix are the decisions of policy makers and the mentality of citizens.

These are the factors that can also be changed in the Czech Republic if civil society and the media make greater efforts. | ||
