As a result of intense civic mobilisation, a [[referendum]] was held in February 2012, in which 94% of the citizens of [[Mielno]] voted against the building of a [[nuclear power station]] in the village of Gąski. The citizens' protest had been supported by members of two biggest parliamentary political groups (otherwise supportive for nuclear power): [[Civic Platform]] (Koszalin MP [[Marek Hok]]) and [[Law and Justice (Poland)|Law and Justice]] (Koszalin MP [[Czesław Hoc]]),<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.forbes.pl/artykuly/sekcje/wydarzenia/mielno-przeciw-atomowi---referendum-na--nie-,24112,1|title=Mielno przeciw atomowi - referendum na "nie"|language=Polish|access-date=2013-06-10|archive-date=2015-11-22|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151122001948/http://www.forbes.pl/artykuly/sekcje/Wydarzenia/mielno-przeciw-atomowi---referendum-na--nie-,24112,1|url-status=dead}}</ref> as well as non-parliamentary [[Zieloni 2004|Green Party]]<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.zieloni2004.pl/news-3169.htm|title=Gratulujemy mieszkańcom i mieszkankom Mielna mobilizacji przeciwko atomowi|language=Polish|access-date=2013-06-10|archive-date=2016-08-18|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160818032303/http://www.zieloni2004.pl/news-3169.htm|url-status=dead}}</ref> and councillors of nearby city of [[Kołobrzeg]].
