German energy 2

(cont'd from yesterday's post)

If Germany is wrecking a village in order to mine more coal (yesterday's post), then something has definitely gone wrong with their long-standing energy plan.

It's certain that no German originally intended this kind of thing. But regardless of the destruction of centuries-old buildings and the history of generations of the town's families, Lutzerath is one of the villages that must go so that the coal mine under it can expand.

One citizen puts it this way: 

“It’s such an absurd and catastrophic scenario that Germany, the country where everyone else thinks we have green [policies], is destroying a village to burn coal in the middle of the climate crisis.”
