“Our colleagues in Western countries kept making noise and making noise about the environment and limiting emissions and so on.
And now they are switching to coal generation.
They had more coal generation in many European countries than we do, and now there will be even more,” the Russian leader said.
Earlier, Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said that the EU should temporarily return to the use of traditional energy sources, in particular coal, and abandon green energy amid the energy crisis.
At the same time, Poland also announced its intention to continue developing coal energy, despite the trends observed in the European Union.
