Nothing is sticking together! Financially, geographically and energetically – is this the year? Money for nuclear power – do we already know how much a power plant costs? As planned, one of the first decisions of the NPRM was to approve subsidizing the nuclear power plant construction project with about PLN 60 billion (bond transfer). At the same time, a construction financing model was presented, in […]

But traditionally, we in Poland must respond with energy forecasts for 2025. Below is a summary of the most important, though sometimes controversial, […]

Imagine the second half of […]
Why can’t power engineers comment on energy topics? Imagine the famous “Lviv School of Mathematics” if suddenly, during the famous discussions and solving of epoch-making mathematical problems in cafes, they suddenly found that they got completely different results than they had assumed, or Oppenheimer leading the team creating the bomb, who suddenly perceives that the chain reaction does not work, or Schroedinger, who nevertheless built […]
