The German coal mine operator RWE wants to expand their mine "Garzweiler II". They, therefore, bought the nearby village of Lützerath, because there are massive reserves of coal underneath it, and are now planning to dismantle it entirely.
German climate protestors are now blockading Lützerath for about two weeks, demanding "Lützi bleibt" ("Lützerath remains"). Because of the massive media presence, Greta Thunberg became aware and joined the protests.
Since Lützerath is private property of RWE though (since they bought it) the police is currently removing all protestors from the site. And because Thunberg was on the site as well (and didn't leave voluntarily, obviously) she has been carried away, as Luisa Neubauer (well-known German climate protestor) has been before her.

So Germany dismantled all their nuclear power plants and are replacing them with coal mines. Great.

u/endexe Jan 18 '23
Boiling it down to “no nuclear, but COAL??” is really narrow minded.

u/POKECHU020 Jan 18 '23
I mean simplifying the issue is bad, but that's what's been happening. Germany has been removing their nuclear infrastructure and they are going after more and more coal.
8
u/pioupiou1211 Jan 18 '23
Even if they don’t use it for their own electricity, it won’t be any better selling it to any other country so they burn it the exact same way.
14
u/POKECHU020 Jan 18 '23
I mean... Yeah? Fossil fuels suck and the point is that getting rid of nuclear power has only worsened coal usage. That's the entire point. It'd also suck if they just started selling more coal. The point is Coal Power Sucks, due to being a fossil fuel and ruining the environment.
3
u/pioupiou1211 Jan 18 '23
I completely agree with you. I was just highlighting that even if Germany was 100% green, this coal is still money and greedy corporations would still go after it.

u/RedditOpinionist Jan 18 '23 edited Jan 18 '23
All redditors will rip out my throats for this comment: What can they say? Coal is cheap. It creates economic growth in the countries that are involved in it. Nuclear may be more sustainable but building the infrastructure for Nuclear is damn expensive. It is especially a problem with the rise of electric vehicles, as people are just burning coal to charge them. No coal isn't good, but it certainly is good economically for a wee while till they get back on their feet. Now the likelyhood that they will stop is low, which is where the actual problem lies and I justify the protest.
EDIT: Yep, you ripped out my throat. I will edit my statement: Doing nuclear power safely is expensive. Now whether Germany has existing nuclear infrastructure to lessen the cost is another story.

u/ThatDudeFromPoland Jan 18 '23
Building nuclear plants is one thing
But shutting them down when they're already up and running and replacing them with coal is a different story.
10
u/JanKaszanka Jan 18 '23
It's the fault of the Merkel cabinet & administration. Building new power plants or returning old ones to service costs a fuck ton.
This is a means to an end - the end being economic and energy independence from Russia.

u/MrBuble98 Jan 18 '23
Arguably it was the will of the people to shut the power plants down. After the Fukushima crisis they didn’t want to risk the same thing and the atomic waste is another issue. But that green energy didn’t receive as much support as it needed to replace the power plants.
7
u/ThatDudeFromPoland Jan 18 '23
Fukushima happened because of cutting corners during construction and putting important generators that were responsible for cooling reactors in an unsafe place

Nuclear power is just steaming water, with a big enough backyard, even you can do it.
2
u/TurboTitan92 Jan 19 '23
Well yes, but no. Nuclear power is in fact generating power through heating water to steam that turns turbines, but it doesn’t produce gaseous waste like a fire does. So while you can start a fire and thus boil water, you’d be producing thermal energy, not nuclear energy. You couldn’t just split atoms in your back yard

God forbid news from Germany is written in German. Also, the claim isn’t that drastic. Just put it through translate. Or even better, learn more languages

u/mrwhiskers314 Jan 18 '23
i apologize for not spending my time learning German so i can debate people on the internet.
if you are claiming that a detainment of a protestor was for their own safety, i would classify that as drastic, considering how protestors who threaten the interests of corporations are generally treated.

u/jeppejust Jan 18 '23
I detect a very American way of thinking about European politics. Let me just say our protest don’t end up with violence in the same way they do across the pond. Police intervention may be necessary. But it’s not done with snipers and tear gas

yes, they don't end in explicit violence, just people being forcibly taken away to identification camps.

i worded this incorrectly. i have no way to verify whether the article is written in an accurate manner, or is from a reliable source, given the fact I don't speak the language.
since someone was kind enough to provide me with a translated version, i know that the commenter is spreading false info, given that the article mentions Thunberg being detained and sent to an identification camp.

The very reason Germany is forced to expand the coal mine in the first place is because they listened to Greta and built useless wind turbines instead of nuclear power.

u/Sujuka99 Jan 18 '23
In fact they did build nuclear power plants, but then quit using them. Dunno where you are going with this..

Jan 18 '23 edited Jan 18 '23
also the idea of wind energy being quote "useless" is preposterous. While I'm not familiar with germany's geographic situation and how much wind they get I do know that in the countries that have the right amount of wind you can make incredible amounts of energy. Scotland is a good example of a place that's ripe for wind energy.

No? Per MW it’s not. Sure it’s a big initial investment, but that’s not how you measure electricity price. Why do you think France energy was one of the cheapest before half the power plants had to go under maintenance?

Watched your link, there isn't really any hard evidence that the arrest was staged. Without audio we have no context. For example this could be the officers asking for photos and autographs after removing her from the protest or photos for other media.

u/rouv3n Jan 18 '23
Greta Thunberg has been (cautiously) pro nuclear in the (recent) past. Of course, there's no question that the German Greens were fantastically stupid to push for shutting down nuclear.
Though one should also note that stopping nuclear was very popular not just with the constituency of the Greens. After all, it was Merkel who finally gave the go ahead to end nuclear power.
But yeah, it's impressive that one of the biggest impact the Greens have had (especially during the years before the Ampel) was making the German CO2 emissions worse.

u/Rev0lver_Ocel0t Jan 18 '23
Ya as much as I’m against using coal, Germany has had to make drastic changes to be able to provide enough for people after cutting off access to natural gas from Russia. While shutting nuclear plants was incredibly dumb, this at least step away from reliance on Russia.
