Is Poland using almost only coal?
Yes. And that's just electricity. It also uses insane amounts of coal for heating.

#192Wow, what's wrong with Poland? I guess they use a lot of coal to produce electricity..?
Yup. Also the previous gov was going nowhere near fast enough on renewables and current government believes that renewables is something that pro-european rich thieving gay vegetarians like so it blocks it however it can.
Combine that with existing coal power plants and ton of coal mines barely profitable to exist and you get current state.
Our saving grace is that we are poor so we don't buy new cars and stuff as often as people from western europe so our total per capita emissions aren't that horrible.
For example half of the co2 car's emmissions happens before it is eve bought.

Not sure If you checked those numbers. Look at Norway 20GW of clean energy (99% of clean energy). They're doing it.
You like numbers ? See those numbers - What does it mean that the page has live data visualization. How often is the data updated ? - How many sources of data are there. Does it cover all of them in every country ? Are they all online all the time ? - Why is Estonia dark brown the whole time but when i click on it is see wind ++ solar ? hydro biomass ? nuclear gas ? coal oil ? unknown ++++++++++ and it still has 595…
Even some numbers might be missing, you cannot argue fact, that producing electricity from clean sources is viable. It's just matter of first accepting the fact burning coal to produce electricity is bad and second take actions to shift towards clean energy production. However most advocates here seems to be stuck on point one (acceptance). Take look at Norway again. They produce 20 GW from hydro. It must be more they consume. I don't need more examples to stress out the fact that 100% clean energy production is viable.

Polish city polluted more then Beijing.

33 out of 50 worst polluted cities are in Poland (due coal) https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CyIT4l4WIAEpzuF.jpg:large
Poland could be fined up to 900 mil Eur for crossing the pollution limits.
