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.

People have been known to chop up the furniture and stuff it in the stove to keep warm.

That coal mine will run rings around the energy output from one windmill.

This is just the beginning. One Scandinavian country is already trashing their "sun powerplants" and going back to oil and coal.

After all,NOBODY WANTS to freeze to death in the winter while sitting in an unheated car during a blizzard and waiting for a tow truck to show up with with solar-powered generator that might work as soon as the sun comes out.

Theory is one thing,but reality will kick your Biden.
