What an ignorant and flippant comment. Before commenting, it's important to understand the reasons for why things are. Poland is burning coal for a number of reasons. First, coal forms the economic base for Silesia. You can't move away from coal unless you can transition the regional economy to something else. Second, Poland isn't exactly in a position to transition to other energy sources all that easily. Nuclear is expensive, shale gas is blocked by environmental groups (though Poland has one of the largest deposits in Europe). Solar and wind have already been commented on. Third, there is no energy solidarity in Europe, something made evident by Germany's smarmy deals with Russia that intentionally circumvent central Europe (e.g., Nordstream) that have serious political consequences, allowing Russia to cut energy to c. Europe while maintaining uninterrupted gas flow to Germany. Meanwhile, Germany, Europe's largest economy, is still burning coal and the failure of climate agreements show the hypocrisy and arrogance of the world's wealthiest countries when it comes to climate change. Making silly and absurd remarks about 15th century coal consumption is a testament to your boorish and condescending attitude towards others.
