Možemo! party opposes gas power plant proposal in Rijeka

The Možemo! political party has criticized a proposal by the Most party to construct a gas-fired thermal power plant in the Rijeka Bay area. Možemo! representatives argue that the plan, proposed by Most MP Zvonimir Troskot, would increase Croatia's dependence on foreign liquefied natural gas (LNG) from the United States.

Sandra Benčić, the Možemo! coordinator, stated that the proposal would replace previous dependence on Russian gas with a more expensive and dangerous reliance on American LNG. She noted that the plan could increase foreign gas dependence by at least 20 percent and estimated that gas costs alone would exceed 500 million euros annually, excluding infrastructure, production, and CO2 emission costs.

Možemo! advocates for greater energy independence through increased investment in renewable energy sources rather than expanding fossil fuel infrastructure.
