Premierul Bolojan tranșează piața. De ce Turceni și Rovinari pierd bani, iar Mintia e rentabilă? • Newsweek România

Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan challenges the ideological narrative behind the closure of coal power plants, highlighting economic inefficiencies. He argues that older coal plants like Turceni and Rovinari are losing money due to outdated technology and high production costs, while the new gas plant at Mintia is profitable due to modern efficiency. The transition in Romania's energy sector is driven by economic viability rather than environmental directives. Bolojan emphasizes the need for a shift towards greener energy sources, as subsidizing expensive coal energy is no longer sustainable. He poses a question about the future of local communities, suggesting a preference for sustainable tourism over traditional mining jobs.
