The historical village of Lützerath faces complete razing in the face of a coal mine expansion in 2023, which would displace 1,500 people and destroy several historical landmarks dating back to the year 1000-1800. Including one of the first gothic architecture churches built in 1478.

This site would also be an ecological disaster on an unprecedented scale, destroying nearly 50sq miles of natural terrain and completely destroying all agricultural usefulness of the land, along with the main drive of tourism to the region in the from of several historical old growth forests.

This comes after Germany pledged to phase out coal by 2030. Once again showing the true face of Capitalist Liberalism.

    Never forget that this is the result of the German Green’s useful idiot policies with regard to nuclear, wind and solar.

      Also a result of the German government shooting itself in the foot with regard to Russia:

      Germany is planning to abandon coal by 2030, as part of the fight for cleaner energy sources. Since Russia invaded Ukraine, however, the energy debate has been revived in the country, which is heavily dependent on Russian hydrocarbons, particularly for gas, which accounts for some 55 percent of its energy imports.

      To ensure sufficient electricity production while reducing dependence on Russian imports, the German government gave itself the option last month of “suspending” the closure of certain coal-fired power stations, while standing by the objective of phasing out coal by 2030.

      There’s a certain gruesome humor here, of the type one usually encounters on the gallows: EU countries propagandizing, in lurid and pornographic detail, the “agony” of Bakhmut and Mariupol, all while destroying their own towns and villages rather than trade with Russia.
