Germany begins dismantling wind farm for coal - Lemmy

>German 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. I thought renewables were cheaper than coal. How is this possible?

Didn’t the green party in Germany have power in government right now? And weren’t they the same guys who dismantled their nuclear plants?

I’m not very informed on German politics but if the answer to both was yes they should really rename their green party to the oil party.

The greens sadly are forced to form a coalition with the social democrats and the neo-liberals, the latter of which are trying to hold every progress back

Why not step out if the coalition then? Seems better to not be in power if your coalition partners stand against everything your party should stand for.

That happened here when our centrist, nationalist and far-right parties made a coalition. The far-right one was messing everything up so the centrists just went yeet and broke the coalition resulting in their coalition being in the minority.

No. They are this close to legalising weed in Germany. Should be end of this year. After that, whatever.
