Faced with an outdated energy system, the Polish government is determined to invest in climate damaging coal rather than focusing on renewable energy.

Poland is hoping to use EU funds to construct municipal waste incinerators in 12 cities – this figure is up from the 9 that were planned in 2008. The total cost of the proposed incinerators will consume around 66% of Poland's Cohesion Funds money for waste management for the 2007-2013 period. Moreover, as potentially only half of the 12 planned incinerators will be ready to apply for EU funding within the present financial period 2007-2013, available waste funding will be blocked for developing alternatives such as separate collection and recycling schemes.
