Man made climate change is a hoax.

It would appear that the polish are actually smarter than most of Europe.

This issue in particular is not about climate change but the negative effects of mining that can be seen across the border in Czechia near which the mine is located

That's good to hear. Thanks for clarifying.

From a link in the article:

  • Poland's Turow coal mine angers Czechs across border.
  • Czech residents fear falling water levels and noise.
  • Czechs have brought suit at EU court.
  • Poland seeking agreement to get lawsuit withdrawn.

I'm surprised there's no mention of contamination.

Is it an issue of water levels tables, and noise?

I'm not trying to marginalize the dispute. I wouldn't want it in my neighborhood.

It does seem that the people on the Czech side of the border indeed are afraid of their water being contaminated (in addition to losing it in their wells; apparently the water supply in one of the bigger local water sources has been decreasing in the recent years) and they also complain about dust:

According to the google translate version of this article, The Czechs are against the expansion of the plant, not the plant itself is that right?

Well my guess would be that the expansion is needed so that more coal etc. can be mined... so not expanding it would probably mean it would need to be closed in the future sooner or later.
