Wind farm in Germany is being dismantled to expand coal mine​

A wind farm in Germany is being dismantled to expand the Garzweiler lignite mine. One of eight turbines installed at the location in 2001 has already been removed. Nevertheless, the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia said it would phase out coal by 2030, as did RWE, the company that owns the mine.​

Wind turbines near the Garzweiler open pit mine in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, run by German energy giant RWE, is being removed to make way for more lignite exploitation.

The turbines were in operation since 2001, and government subsidies have expired. Energiekontor and wpd, which is also active in the Balkans, operate the wind farm.

It is unknown how long the deconstruction would take. So far, one wind turbine has been removed.

The Greens would sacrifice folks freezing to death to keep their agenda..... But not this year....

The "Greenies" will have a complete shit-fit....

Wind Turbines are completely impractical.

Solar Panels slightly less so.

Nuclear Power, whether in massive generators, or small, local, units, produced on assembly lines, are the answer.

All depends on location.

Solar is quite practical out here in AZ.

Half the car parks in the city have solar panels setup so you can park in the shade.

You see whole warehouses with the roofs covered in panels.

They pay for themselves relatively quickly.

It would be interesting to see what % of the Tucson power is solar.

Eminent Oxford Scientist Says Wind Power “Fails on Every Count” – The Daily Sceptic

"Oxford University mathematician and physicist, researcher at CERN and Fellow of Keble College, Emeritus Professor Wade Allison has done the sums. The U.K. is facing the likelihood of a failure in the electricity supply, he concludes. “Wind power fails on every count,” he says, adding that governments are ignoring “overwhelming evidence” of the inadequacies of wind power, “and resorting to bluster rather than reasoned analysis”."

make way...the coal train coming through!!!! its not coal is everywhere..gotta follow the coal seam....so take down that pesky wind mill in the way!!!!

U.S. renewable electricity surpassed coal in 2022

"Electricity generated from renewables surpassed coal in the United States for the first time in 2022, the U.S. Energy Information Administration announced Monday."

Only way is when you compare green to coal when the coal boiler is turned off.

Oh the HORROR...

Peak electrical usage across the world is from 4pm to 9pm.
Maintaining enough electrical power generated by solar panels in batteries can be done for one family unit, but it doesn’t scale up well for towns and cities.

Forced by the green party lunatics they closed state of the art perfectly functional nuclear plants only to be forced to reopen coal plants!
Because burning coal is so much better for the air and the planet, right?!!!

Pinched by energy crisis, Spanish coal plant slated for closure fires up

Soaring demand for electricity in Spain, where a cold snap is exacerbating an energy crunch, has pushed power company Endesa to restart a coal plant that has been idle since July and is slated for closure as part of European emissions-cutting goals.

After seeing the results of EV fires, I'd hate to think of the devastation caused if a city's battery system caught fire.

Just the amount of space necessary for the batteries to supply a small village with electricity is staggering. For lead-acid batteries you would need a small shed to house enough batteries for a mid-size single family house, and you still need a generator of some sort to keep the batteries from becoming too discharged to be of further use.

For a family to house lithium batteries would be like storing an incendiary bomb near your home.
