Аннотация: The notion " energy center " is deeply misunderstood in our country. Modern Bulgarian politicians intentionally wave the energy map where, instead of energy sources, we can only see oil and gas pipelines crisscrossing the Black Sea and Bulgaria. These pipelines start from the real energy center to the end consumer. Under the conditions of shortage of energy resources in Bulgaria it is absurd to insist the Bulgaria could become an energy center on the Balkans. So, instead of an energy center, Bulgaria is rather an energy crossroads due to its favorable geographic location. Bulgaria was the center providing raw materials for the nuclear energy until the 1980s. The uranium, produced in Bulgaria, made the Bul-garian and other countries' nuclear blocks independent. Nowadays, the attempts to revive the production of uranium meet the overwhelming resistance of environmental organizations and nuclear monopolies controlling the world markets of nuclear fuel. The traditional sources of energy such as oil, natural gas and coal satisfy as much as 1 to 5% of the needs of our energy sector. Our scarce deposits of traditional energy sources make Bulgaria entirely dependent on the world markets of energy sources. Currently the raw material and energy market for Bulgaria and the EU is monopolized by Russia and the Arabic countries due to their geographic location. The irregular geographic distribution of the raw materials for the energy industry such as oil and gas on the world geographic map creates the problem with their transportation to the end consumer. Nowadays hydrocarbons are transported by tankers or via pipelines. Pipelines are preferred due to a number of reasons. Their advantages make them very attractive and are expressed in the following:-They shorten considerably the distance to the end consumer;-The transport charges for the transit of the products are avoided;-The risks to the environment during this means of transportation are reduced.
