Minister of Energy Backs Off Commitment to Force Electricity Companies to Adopt Bankrupt Mines

Now with the stock value of Polish energy companies that have government ownership plunging, the new Minister of Energy says that the plans to force electricity companies to buy or invest in mining companies are still not firm.



Eventually almost everything that Law and Justice said in the election will be contradicted by the economic realities on the ground or by European Union rules and treaty obligations. So let's go to Emily Litella for a comment (click her name to hear).

Hitting Reality: Polish Energy Policy Meets the Facts

Senator Everett Dirksen (for whom a US Senate office building is now named) was asked on one election night to comment on his early lead in the voting. He told the story of two Irishmen working on a fifteen story building. O'Malley falls off the top floor and his colleague O'Reilly starts running down the stairwell to try to help him. O'Reilly sticks his head out and yells to O'Malley, "how is it going?" O'Malley says "so far, so good...." as his sails to the ground below.     Many political myths employed by politicians in Poland on national energy policy are about to hit the ground as well .
