Coal is cheap and available in Poland why not use it? It is a bit hypocritical for Western European countries to move their industrial base to Poland first and then push for green energy as a mean to decrease competitiveness of Polish economy. On the good side Poland is big time afforesting for the last 70 years from 20,8% in 1946 to 30% in 2020. Show me another country in Europe who did so much to sequester CO2 over last 70 years. Also Poland and Czech Republic had decreased its CO2 production by 50% since 1990s - most in the world. Sure, EU money helped a lot but it was Polish jobs and life choices that paid for closing factories and reforming its post-communist dirty heavy industry, sewage treatment plants, agriculture etc. https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/EN.ATM.CO2E.PC?locations=CZ https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/EN.ATM.CO2E.PC?location... https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/EN.ATM.CO2E.PC?locations=PL https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/EN.ATM.CO2E.PC?location... So not all bad. PS. Plans for Polish nuclear power plant in Żarnowiec had been abolished post Chernobyl. You never know.. And I wish Poland got rid of coal and better yet cars. But be realistic.
