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?

But the millions of people have been denied education, mislead, and propagandized by the corrupt politicians, it's probably not productive to blame victims here.

    I do not believe the majority of people don't know about the effects of climate change. I believe that the majority of people voting against climate friendly policies simply choose to not think long term.

    Someone who votes to continue the status quo is to be blamed for the status quo.

    I get you, and I probably went a bit too far in my statement as I don't think they're completely blameless, just don't think they're the primary party deserving of blame, that goes to the powerful.
