Fossil fuel-reliant Poland has won a reprieve from the European Union’s climate neutrality goals that are part of the bloc’s newly adopted Green Deal scheme that seeks to aggressively de-carbonize Member States’ economies.

Poland, which gets 80 percent of its power from coal, was the lone holdout following a marathon debate in Brussels that concluded early Friday with European Union member states agreeing to the goal of carbon neutrality by 2050.
