Summary/Abstract: Polish Ministry of Energy has announced for consultation a draft of The Polish Energy Policy till 2040 (PEP2040's). Authors discuss assumptions and general thesis showed by government and stated that the strategic objectives of PEP2040's are incompatible with the European climate policy. Document don’t contain criteria, policies and measures that are necessary to prepare the plan for energy and climate policy resulting from EU obligations under the Paris Agreement, which has also been ratified by Poland. Authors suggest that this document can only be considered as an introduction to the discussion. The global energy and climate policy forces to look for alternative solutions and sources of cheap electricity. We know what hydrogen is, we can accumulate and transform it into electricity. Authors hope that after reading the text in the reader's mind, the question will arise when the „hydrogen era breaks out”.
