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 Green parties are simply a way in which the capitalist superstructure ensures the security of the base by ensuring electoral support of the pearl-clutching petit-bourgeois.
