Poland considers EU environmental plans climate madness
Polish Prosecutor General and Minister of Justice Zbigniew Ziobro said that the country cannot succumb to the climate madness that the European Union encourages, RIA Novosti reports
According to the head of the country’s Justice Ministry, Poland must develop its energy sector, this is a condition for the country’s security. “We must develop our energy sector and give the Poles confidence that our work and investments will be profitable in relation to prices and costs. For this we need our Polish energy sector, including coal,” he said at a press conference.
Ziobro called the EU’s plans to eliminate cars with internal combustion engines and gasoline engines complete madness, stressing that Poland must not succumb to the climate madness promoted by the EU as part of the Fit for 55 package.
The Polish official noted that large countries outside the EU are actively using coal energy and are not going to abandon it, citing China and Japan as examples. “China is simultaneously building dozens of new coal-fired power plants, and Japan recently delivered 23 state-of-the-art coal-fired power plants,” he said.
According to Ziobro, Poland should rely on the cheapest energy. “No one will convince me that the Japanese are choosing an energy sector that is not economically profitable,” noted the head of the Polish Justice Ministry. He underlined that Poland, unlike Japan, has huge reserves of its own coal.
Official Warsaw constantly criticises the climate package Fit for 55. The directives and regulations of the Fit for 55 package are legislative acts that are aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55 percent by 2030 (compared to 1990) and achieving climate neutrality by 2050.
