Nuclear power plant controversy
[edit]The nearby village of Gąski is one of three sites selected by Polish power company PGE in November 2011 to host a nuclear power station with a capacity of 3 gigawatts. In February 2012, residents voted overwhelmingly against the plan. Some 94 percent of the 2,389 people who took part in a referendum opposed the plant and only 5 percent supported it.[3]
Notable people
[edit]- Reni Jusis (born 1974 in Konin, raised in Mielno) is a female Polish pop singer, songwriter and producer.
