Sławomir Mentzen on “building” of atomic power plant in Poland.
Donald Tusk's government with the mouth of the Minister of manufacture Marzena Czarnacka announced that the current date of completion of the atomic power plant was 2040. In this way we see another chapter in the decade-long era of how Polish governments are incapable to undertake this project.
And it was like this. In January 2009, Donald Tusk decided to start preparations for the construction of the Polish atomic power plant. The construction was to be completed, in which it seemed distant in 2019. PGE EJ1 was established, whose president was PO politician Aleksander Grad. Years passed, nothing interesting happened. Building a power plant proved harder than pushing a button in the Sejm. The PiS came to power. The deadline for giving up the power plant moved first to 2025 and then, due to the fact that nothing was going on, to 2033.
Just before the 2023 election, the PiS announced that we were building not 1 but 3 atomic power plants. Finally, the construction of 1 turned out to be highly simple, so what are 3 atomic plants for us? 1 will be built by the Americans, the another by the Koreans, and the 3rd possibly by the French, but that is not yet known. Of course, it was completely unrealistic, the experts were knocking on their foreheads, but who was bothered erstwhile the election run continued?
At the end of 2023, Tusk came to power and the whining began. Is it necessary, or should the location be changed, or should it be given to the French alternatively than the Americans? They died a fewer months ago, and present they decided that possibly 2040 with this power plant would make it. This means 21 years of delay, and construction has not even begun yet! How is that even possible?
What stands in the way of yet building this plant? Why are so many countries able to do this, late even a tiny Slovakia and Poland not? How incompetent are we in the political class that they can't even begin construction for so many years, and they're inactive just pushing the deadline? Is that intentional? How come both the PiS and the PO just want to pursuit the bunny alternatively of yet catching him? After all, most coal plants will should be shut down by the mid-1930s. Where does Poland get energy from? Where do we get the power?
PO together with PiS have ruled Poland continuously since 2005. All the presidents and prime ministers were from these 2 parties at the time. Then why hasn't a shovel been thrown into the construction of a atomic power plant for almost 20 years? How could you screw this up like that?
Or am I being overdramatic? possibly I'm overreacting. Let's think cold. In fact, what do we request power plants for, like power plants are already in Germany. Why do we request a CPK like the airport is already in Berlin? After all, we have a footbridge through the Vistula River in Warsaw, let us enjoy what is, alternatively of constantly worrying unnecessarily.
