  • Garzweiler II Coal Mine To Expand Despite Germany Seeking Accelerated Transition To Renewable Energies<br>NEURATH, GERMANY - APRIL 22: Electricity pylons stand as steam rises from cooling towers at the Neurath coal-fired power plant on April 22, 2022 at Neurath, Germany. According to data from 2020, Neurath is Europe's second biggest emitter of CO2. The plant burns lignite coal produced from the nearby Garzweiler II open-cast mine. While the German government is pursuing ambitious and accelerated goals for the country's transition away from fossil fuels and towards renewable energy sources, Germany remains dependent on coal for the near future. RWE, the energy company that owns the Garzweiler mine and the Neurath power station, recently won a court case that will allow it to raze what remains of the nearby village of Luetzerath, where a lone farmer, Eckhardt Heukamp, had been refusing to leave. Several settlements near Garzweiler as well as near other open-cast coal mines in Germany are slated for destruction to allow for mine expansion. Energy companies are offering resettlement to affected residents. (Photo by Sean Gallup/Getty Images)
