http://www.democracynow.org - As it plays host to the U.N. climate summit in Warsaw, the Polish government has released a report saying coal will remain the country's best energy option up to 2060. The nation is also hosting a parallel coal summit in Warsaw organized by the the World Coal Association and Poland's Economy Ministry. Conference organizers have billed it as "the coal industry's most important event of the year." Poland is one of the world's largest coal producers, fueling more than 88 percent of the country's electricity. This was on the mind of many residents who came from Warsaw, Krakow and beyond to join in Saturday's March for Climate and Social Justice. Democracy Now!'s Renee Feltz speaks to them about their climate concerns.
