WARSAW, April 4 (Reuters) - Poland wants to run coal fired
power plants well beyond 2049 as it needs to adjust its energy
strategy amid volatile gas prices and war in Ukraine, the deputy
prime minister and state assets minister was quoted as saying by
state-owned news agency PAP. 
    "Price volatility means that gas as transition fuel in power
generation is not acceptable. (...) Today we want to make
coal-fired power plants function much longer, and turn them into
a stabilizer of the whole system," Deputy Prime Minister Jacek
Sasin was quoted as saying.
