I’d been hearing about the coal-mine protests in Germany, but this photo by Sean Gallup is the first that gave me a real sense of the titanic size of the thing and what’s being protested. Just… unreal.

@Meyerweb
They claim wind turbine would disturb the landscape.
Therefore we have to burn coal instead 👀🙄

I'm not kidding.

@RyunoKi @Meyerweb There's wind turbines next to the mine. Those are also property of RWE, the mine operator.
They own all of the land and make profits on it in any way possible.
