Summary/Abstract: The biggest part of the energy needed in the World is ensured through fossil sources. Particularly developed countries with renewable sources exploit hydraulics, wind, geothermal, sun, biomass, wave, hydrogen etc. in many forms predominantly to produce electricity. Turkey is highly dependent on export for oil and gas. Fossil energy sources have little space in Turkey’s energy potential. The sun is the most important energy source of the world. As a root of energy sources of the world, the sun is used for many purposes from generating electricity to heating. Turkey has no capacity to refine boron perfectly. For that reason, Turkey throws away a good opportunity to have great currency income by selling unrefined or semi-refined boron. Turkey couldn’t take off in targeted economic development in lieu of great burden of energy bills. In this respect, Turkey should reassess her strategic environment and find the ways to access the gas reserves in cheap and secure ways. If the Turkey better assesses and uses her geographical, political, and geopolitical position, opportunities and advantages provided by her position will ensure great benefits to her.
