What you see on this photo is not from the Empire Strikes Back.

No, it is German police protecting a coal mine excavator in #Lützerath - a village planned to be demolished by the energy company RWE to extract coal that is not even needed for the energy security of Germany.

@PointlessSpike It's not even ‘proper’ coal but just lignite, which is more like dirt that burns (somewhat). It's completely ridiculous.
