The main party Law and Justice is opposing the ideas of the political opposition which is in charge in local governments. The leading political group can refuse the policies proposed by the rest of the parties, sometimes even if their ideas are more sustainable. Despite having lost recent local elections, the Law and Justice still have political majority in Polish government which makes them quite influential. They have their representatives everywhere, sharing and even sometimes implementing their controversial policies and ideas.

As the Law and Justice is the main ruling party in the Polish government, it has the power to pass or veto certain plans and legislatures. Hence, the policies proposed by the opposition may be simply declined by PiS, making it impossible for not main party members to change the decisions and actions undertaken by our government.

However, the situation in local governments is very promising since the elections held last fall, when Law and Justice lost their power in many significant Polish cities. The coalitions within the opposition are working to increase the use of green energy in our country and reach the renewable energy Directive of the EU by 2020.

• The ruling party and their controversial policies and ideas- disagreements between politics (Law and Justice vs the opposition)
• The geographical position of Poland (It's simply impossible to increase the number of i.e. wind power plants or use efficient amount hydro power)
• The influence of mining industry in our economy
• The power of miners as a social group and their connections with Law and Justice
• Simply, the easy access to non-renewable sources of energy in comparison with the renewable ones- we have quite large amount of coal in Poland which greatly contributes to our economic situation and present government is not really willing to give up this influential sector
