Abstract
Ukrainian government faces several challenges in the energy sector including the (1) long-term problem of hazardous emissions from aging Soviet-built thermal and nuclear power plants that are unable to meet European safety standards; (2) lack of access to coal to support electricity production due to mine locations outside of their jurisdiction; and (3) slow growth of green energy which presently lacks the capacity to compensate for losses in electrical energy if dominant producers are closed. Consequently, this study utilizes a research methodology of comparative-geographical, descriptive geographic, and mathematical statistics to reveal declining population health in relation to current methods of energy production. Results indicate that initiating a formal plan to reduce dependence on traditional forms of electrical production and expediting transition to green energy can reduce morbidity and mortality of the population living directly in the zone of emissions and improve safety and the quality of life for the national population.
