Germany Is Dismantling A Wind Farm To Make Way For A Coal Mine. We don’t know whether to file this under “Immense Irony,” “Stupid Greentards,” “No Wonder Germany Lost WW2” or “Russia Russia Russia.” Regardless, they should have listened to Trump about not making deals with Vladimir Putin for natural gas.
A wind farm is being dismantled in western Germany to make way for an expansion of an open-pit lignite coal mine in a “paradoxical” situation highlighting the current prioritization of energy security over clean energy in Europe’s biggest economy.
The dismantling of at least one wind turbine at the wind farm close to the German coal mine Garzweiler, operated by energy giant RWE, has already started. RWE says that lignite, or brown coal, has been mined from the Garzweiler coalfields for over 100 years.
RWE also said at the end of September that three of its lignite-fired coal units that were previously on standby would return to the electricity market on schedule in October.
