Labour’s most prominent climate champion, Miliband described the Rosebank project as “climate vandalism” when the party was in opposition. ... #Britains #next #leader #faces #big

Can you believe that some politicians want to dismantle renewable energy systems like photovoltaics? Przemysław Czarnek, a candidate for prime minister from the ruling party, boldly stated he would take down these installations as soon as they pay off. His reasoning? He believes exiting the Emissions Trading System (ETS) could significantly lower energy bills by tens of percent. It's alarming to think that instead of supporting sustainable energy solutions, some leaders are looking to revert to old practices that could have long-term negative impacts on our environment and energy independence. With the ongoing climate crisis, prioritizing renewable energy should be non-negotiable, not something to be dismantled for short-term financial gain. What are your thoughts on this approach? Do you think we should be investing in renewables or looking for ways to cut costs at the expense of our planet? https://wyborcza.pl/7,75398,32663961,czarnek-o-fotowoltaice-zdemontuje-to-swinstwo-jak-tylko-mi.html #RenewableEnergy #ClimateCrisis #Economy #Poland
