Elektrownia Północ in the May issue of the WildLife Magazine

Dodane: 9-5-2014

Elektrownia Północ Power Plant becomes the editorial focus of the WildLife Magazine again. The leading article is already available in Polish. ‘Wisła w cieniu elektrowni’ (‘Vistula in the shadow of the power plant’) covers the current situation and threats to the Vistula River posed by the Power Plant – water intake, fish killed in thousands, hot sewage and a mixture of toxic substance. ‘In spite of the serious problems with obtaining necessary permits and source of financing, the investor continues his propaganda of success, and keeps making the impression that heavy equipment is worming up and about to head towards the Rajkowy village’ – writes the author.

In the new issue you will also find the following articles:

‘Health costs of Elektrownia Północ’ - Łukasz Adamkiewicz and Weronika Piestrzyńska from HEAL shed light on the impacts of air pollution from coal-fired power plants on people, a problem as serious as little known to the public.
‘Lichen zones of Starogard Lake District and the Kwidzyń Valley in the vicinity of the planned Elektrownia Północ’ – Adam Bohdan and Marta Popławska present the results of lichen monitoring in the area around the power plant – clean air is a value easy to lost, but hard to recreate.
In ‘Current threats to the ichthyofauna of the Vistula River’ Grzegorz Radtke, PhD, gives a detail explanation of the impact of Elektrownia Północ on the Lower Vistula River ecosystem and clarifies why the investment will be so destructive to its fish populations.
‘How can it be that energy in Poland is more expensive than energy produced in countries with higher income per capita?’ asks Kuba Gogolewski in the article ‘Europe’s B(l)ackville’, in which he explains why investing in coal is a wilful act to the detriment of most of Poland’s citizens.
In ‘Climate. The talks ongoing’ Tobiasz Adamczeski explains what the climate negotiations are, where are they heading and if we still have any chance to achieve global agreement on climate protection.
‘We build cooperation for climate protection’ – an interview with Urszula Stefanowicz who tells us about Polish Climate Coalition - its mission, activities to date, and the most important challenges the member organisations are currently facing.
