The lines were LONG, and had many large trucks that were going to line up for coal.
Thqt Biden hasn’t opened up Americas energy production is another crime of his presidency we will see played out this winter.
A little more context...
“Artur’s household is one of the 3.8 million in Poland that rely on coal for heating and now face shortages and price hikes, after Poland and the European Union imposed an embargo on Russian coal following Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine in February.
Poland banned purchases with an immediate effect in April, while the bloc mandated fading them out by August.
While Poland produces over 50 million tonnes from its own mines every year, imported coal, much of it from Russia, is a household staple because of competitive prices and the fact that Russian coal is sold in lumps more suitable for home use.
Soaring demand has forced Bogdanka and other state-controlled mines to ration sales or offer the fuel to individual buyers via online platforms, in limited amounts. Artur, who did not want to give his full name, said he had collected paperwork from his extended family in the hope of picking up all their fuel allocations at once.
Like all Polish coal mines, Bogdanka typically sells most of the coal it produces to power plants. Last year, it sold less than 1% of its output to individual clients so lacks the logistics to sell fuel directly to retail buyers.”
But, but coal is so dirty, smokey and stinky.. How are we ever going to clean our planet if we allow this to happened.? /s
Greta Thunberg is going to be very displeased.
HYSTERICAL - Putin’s Russia is flush with cheap fuel, while the ‘Free World’ is waiting in lines that are worse than even Soviet times.
So TAKE THAT, PUTIN!!!
