This lignite mine is razing villages in Germany | Euronews Witness
One of the world’s biggest opencast lignite pits is destroying villages in Germany. Fourteen have already disappeared. Another six are under threat.
In this episode of Euronews Witness, our reporter Hans von der Brelie meets people refusing to leave their homes, climate activists blocking a giant bucket-wheel excavator and even building tree houses to save the forest.
Will they win the battle?

Nuclear power doesn't require all this nonsense. Destroying towns and turning farmlands into pit mines is not a sustainable way to get our energy.

Germany's government is hypocritical just like our own and are corrupt like the EU is. The people are better at managing affairs than any government which is just a representation of Monopolist interests

Nuclear energy is the best option, safe, cheap and dependable.

It will be more effective if these environmentalists put their passion and energy into developing new energy to compete with coal.

The impact of climate change will force the closure of these mines. It is only a matter of time before Germany is subject to a climate change disaster, sufficiently large to change policy. It is a question of cost benefit analysis.

Yeah it sucks when business dries up, but its either this or everybody in the end. Besides, newer technologies always replace old ones.
Even in the olden times old technologies and methods had to make way for new ones. Im empathetic to the villagers and employees though

I'm shocked that the government would allow the loss of villages.

Of course, the transition to green industry and energy is important in itself. But on the other hand, getting rid of dependence on gas and oil supplied by Arab religious obscurantists and Putin's rashist regime is no less important.
