Analyzing EU-Russia relations one may find significant difference regarding the energy security definition. From the Russian perspective this concept is defined mainly through the technical prism focusing on stable and secure supply. In turn, many European researchers add economic and environmental dimensions of this concept underlying the role of competitive market and interrelations with climate issue. In this paper author tries to reduce a difference between these two positions. He aims at elaborating broad definition of the energy security which should help for better analysis EU-Russia energy relations. He states that existing definition based on three abovementioned elements like security of supply, free market, and sustainable development, is incomplete and should therefore be extended by the fourth component, so called social and political agreement.

This qualitative study is aimed at elucidating conceptual metaphors associated with renewable energy sources (further referred to as ‘renewables’) in Ukrainian prime ministers’ (PMs) political discourse. The material derives from a corpus of Ukrainian PMs’ political texts on renewables in Ukraine within the timeframe 2005-2014. The corpus is examined for the presence of conceptual metaphors pertaining to the topic of renewables. Data analysis indicates that from 2005 to 2013 conceptual metaphors involving renewables are embedded in the issues of Ukraine’s adherence to the Kyoto Protocol, the EU directives on renewables, the monetary value of renewables and the role of renewables in Ukraine’s energy security, thus instantiating the conceptual metaphors Renewables as Ukraine’s European Choice, Renewables as a Path to the EU, Renewables as Money and Renewables as Independence respectively. However, the novel metaphor Renewables as Survival is identified in PM Yatsenjuk’s political discourse in 2014. This metaphor is embedded in the context of another conceptual metaphor, Gas as a Weapon, which is present in political discourse involving Russian natural gas export to third countries. Data analysis indicates that the conceptual metaphors Renewables as Survival and Renewables as Independence are in a polyphonic relationship of synergy and contrast with Gas as a Weapon.

Przyspieszający w ostatnich latach rozwój technologii w obszarze wykorzystywania odnawialnych źródeł energii, czyni je konkurencyjnymi wobec paliw kopalnych. Nowa technologia dalece zmieni światowy system energetyczny w ciągu najbliższych dekad. Tym samym, znaczenie konwencjonalnych surowców energetycznych, np. węgla i ropy naftowej, spadnie, a ich miejsce zajmą minerały takie, jak lit, czy kobalt. Zmiany te są kluczowe nie tylko dla ekologii, ale spowodują także rekonfigurację geopolitycznej mapy świata. Niektóre państwa na tym skorzystają, niektóre będą się zmagać z poważnymi problemami, jeśli będą chciały utrzymać swoją pozycję. Artykuł sygnalizuje pewne ogólne tendencje, które mogą być przydatne dla długookresowych projekcji geopolitycznych.

Accelerating, within the last years, technological progress in the area of renewables, makes them as competitive as fossil fuels. The new technology is going to profoundly change the global energy system within the next few decades. Together with it, the importance of conventional energy resources, e. g. coal and oil, will fall, and minerals, such as lithium and cobalt, would take their place. These changes are not only crucial for the ecology of the planet but they will also reconfigure the geopolitical map of the world. Some countries would benefit from it, some would face serious obstacles to keep their position. The article signals some general tendencies that could be useful for long-term predictions in geopolitics.
