German energy giant RWE has begun dismantling a wind farm to make way for a further expansion of an open-pit lignite coal mine in the western region of North Rhine Westphalia.

I thought renewables were cheaper than coal. How is this possible?

What a shame. One step forward, two steps back.

Where's the step forward though? All I see is two steps back. First they close nuclear power plants, then they mine coal because of some weird bureaucracy. What's next? Rebuild nordstream?.. Germany sucks, its leaders suck and its businessmen suck. Spineless profiteering bureaucrats the lot of them. I dunno why aren't there people on the streets trashing up the place.
