News / Poland's economic future? [294]

including plans to built Baltic Pipe: a pipeline that will connect us to Danish and Norwegian

We cannot allow Russia to hold us to economic ransom when it comes to strategic resources.

News / Polonophobia rising in Israel. [144]

Must admit between Lyzko and recent events my wish of having better future relations between Poland and Israel has changed. probably best to smooth over the current hysteria and keep well away and apart in the future.

Burning gas here

Thats great for you city slickers but the cost of running pipelines out to the sticks where I live is not economically viable. we have no sewers or mains water for gods sake.

Me and the cats are happy here burning smokeless coke and wood with a moisture content of 18%, no different to what I did in the UK in the 70s.

the infrastructure for gas

And be reliant on Russia and have to pay any price demanded,

conversion to electric boilers?

It costs me 4000zl to run a electric boiler far too much for the average Polish household who live mainly in one room and only use one light bulb.

Electricity in Poland is very expensive.

News / Road deaths increase in Poland [43]

I couldn't imagine E.U. drivers trying to drive in the U.S. on a twelve lane expressway bumper to bumper going 130 KPH. lol

I couldn't imagine American drivers doing 260kph on a two lane Autobahn in Germany lol.

to try to foster a bit of goodwill between ourselves rather than discord

Ooopps sorry Atch I didn't mean to come across all stern my way or highway kind of thing, I respect we would have differences but we could still have a bit of fun, reading back on my posts i have been guilty of being very clinical in the way I have put my opinion, sorry should have put some light things and smileys in there, I used to have a very technical life, you can understand how clinical boring we can be at times, but I have retired now so no excuse.. sorryski sorryski.

PIS seems to do nothing but try to alienate

PIS is doing what PIS said it would do in its manifesto and other things that a government can choose to do, it's the EU that's getting upset at Poland's policies, PIS are riding high in public opinion polls and before long there will be an election where voters can remove PIS from government if they wish.

emerging wind power initiatives?

Controversial in most eu countries, fact is energy is a strategic resource and gas is "clean fuel" of choice thus expensive, Poland has just started a LNG terminal but costs are not much different, Germany has given Poland a body blow by building a separate pipeline to fulfil its own selfish needs, then vilifying Poland for not burning clean fuels.

So what do we do pay Putin whatever he wants, then if we upset him as part of EU/nat sanctions he turns off the gas in the middle of winter?

solutions can be found to sustainable energy problems

Well they are building solar farms and windmills like the clappers where I am.

Any other ideas.

we built one of the most ambitious hydro-electric power stations in Europe

Well what a great Idea but what are you going to say when Poland starts flooding tens of thousands of hectares to create the necessary dams , whole villages / valleys under water predominantly in the national parks (Where the water is)

The outcry would be bigger than the current Forrest fiasco.

Ireland could keep blaming the Brits

Ireland has had more time to recover.

They're doing the bare minimum and that's a fact.

Then the EU can cough up the money for the alternatives.

Oh and Germany has agreed a Russian gas pipeline that completely bypasses Poland, so no chance of a good bulk gas price deal for us, we will still be held to ransom on prices and availability by the ruskies

blaming the Soviets for everything

What you deny Katyn, my parents deportation to Siberia, the systematic murder of Polish inteligencia, years of soviet rule which denied free speech, free trade and free movement.

- they're pledged to continue using coal as the main fuel source for Poland.

There is simply no other economic choice at the moment, alternatives are too expensive.

New laws on household use of solid fuel are being put into place, the requirement to change boilers to less polluting models and a ban on the worst low quality coal products.

So when you are saying almost nothing they are doing as much as possible in the circumstances

Poland rivals London of the 1950s or LA of the 1970s

Exactly the Soviets bashed us back to the stone age and we need to catch up and the only way of funding it is via gdp growth with appropriate and fair taxation of the large multis.

Chernobyl on your hands a few years down the road.

Then if we have to build em its best to site them on the Ukraine or Belarus borders where the prevailing winds blow east.

will implode the economy

Not if the capitalists feet are held to the fire and they pay their fair share of employer contributions towards the proper care of employees and citizens, this government has shown it is prepared to take on the big boys and make them pay their dues for profit that they are making out of Poland.

Make the foreign and local monopolies, supermarkets and businesses pay more why not, if it doesn't fly for them they can go elsewhere, but I bet you they won't

" how life was there in the 1970s "

Country held to ransom by Marxist commie sympathisers, wanting to create a perfect state on the model of the soviet union.

economy in the first place but there you go! Life's not fair is it

These things happen , luckily for Poland things are on the way up, I also have to commend a government who put people above money, as of march many low paid workers will be free of the shackles of having to work for a pittance on Sundays, they will have time with their families all this on top of the 500+ project which is giving great support to struggling families .

Next project properly funded universal healthcare.. Nai Bevan would be pleased with the progress Poland is making.

partly because it's politically far less stable.

How do you figure that?, Germany is the country struggling to form a government, Polands government on the other hand is solid and their popularity is gaining strength every month (have you seen the lates polls). nobody is taking their money out of Poland in fact the opposite is true GDP is going from strength to strength.

The only unrest is from Marxist EU foreigners who wish to undermine Polands success.

I would say that despite its size, it's a much more fragile economy than Ireland

How do you figure that Ireland lags way behind Poland and is projected to lag further behind.

Also check out the EBA banking stress test results, Irelands position is shocking, even after Britains bail out funds.

Work / Sikh coming to Poland with over 14 years experience in Customer Service and running operations [30]

. Being a Sikh with beard and a turban, how easy it is for me to be a target to racial violence?

Sadly there is little education in Poland as to the difference between Sikhs Hindus and Muslim, sadly there is a chance you could get some bother from some random lunatics.

There certainly needs to be more education worldwide when it comes to Sikhs and Sikhism to avoid confusion, Sikhs are very good people indeed.

German adm. done their upmost to destroy

Not to mention turning Warsaw into dust, they just don't get why poles don't want to listen to their righteous German shite, but there again we don't want to listen to Russian Shite, rest of Europe carries some respect, but sadly the EU is not a democratic body and is dominated by the German sphere of influence.
