Germany Begins Dismantling Wind Farm for Coal
EU Observer | 29 Aug 2023, 10:43 | Wester van GaalGerman 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.
One wind turbine has already been dismantled, with a further seven scheduled for removal to excavate an additional 15m to 20m tonnes of so-called ‘brown’ coal, the most polluting energy source.
The demolitions are part of a deal brokered last year between Robert Habeck, the Green Party’s minister for economy and climate action and Mona Neubaur, who is the economy minister for North Rhine Westphalia, to allow the expansion of the mine.
In return, RWE had to agree to phase out coal in 2030, eight years before the previous deadline. “It’s a good day for climate protection,” Habeck said at the time.
Two reasons we know that this was not actually an eagle:
1) An eagle would not have leaped off the windmill, it would have flown into and been decimated by the blades.
2) People would have been saddened by the death of an actual eagle.
They just trying to start WW3.
Well, Christmas is coming and it is hard to give people a lump of windmill in their stocking…
