Why would you jump to this conclusion? I wonder why some people on internet are repeating narratives like drones.

Poland has largest use of coal in EU. Czechia and Germany are behind. Poland is including energy from sun and wind now a lot but there is still long way. Unlike surrounding countries they never had nuclear for some reason. https://app.electricitymaps.com/map/zone/PL/live/

Soviet Union was unwilling to put nuclear that far west, and then after Chernobyl most nuclear construction was cancelled.

> Soviet Union was unwilling to put nuclear that far west

That seems wrong; Dukovany (and IIRC then-planned Temelin) were further to the west than most of Poland and operated just fine.

Polish coal is said to have a high sulphur content which won't help either.

Sulfur can counteract warming (although not the carbon dioxide itself obviously). There was a brief period, right before the world stepped back from releasing sulfur into the atmosphere, when our carbon dioxide emissions were completely countered by our sulfur emissions, when it comes to global temperatures only.

[nephihaha]

Sulphur produces acid rain though, which is bad news.

[scotty79]

Yup.
