I'm becoming more and more convinced we all have been fooled. The more I proceed into the current situation of energy costs and Green Deals, the more I'm terrified about the direction we're heading to. I understand due to the climate change we need to focus on using renewable sources of energy. In accordance with above, we are being told we need to change the source of energy by which we heat our homes.
However, since people of Poland know the biggest polluters are China, US&A and India, some changes are harder to implement than others.
The Polish authorities have been selling the rights to CO2 emissions and using the the funds to finance their social transfers. These funds should be used to fund energy transformation. They are not.
So in order to coax Poles into switching from fossil fuels, the authorities decided to make it unaffordable to use them.
I really believe it wasn't their goal, but what they achieved is called 'energy poverty'. This is a real issue, want an example? In Katowice in some buildings 1 cubic meter of warm water (from district heating) costs more than an open monthly ticket for swimming pool (where you can shower).
