OPEN PIT COAL MINES IN GERMANY
Last weekend there have been protests in NRW against 3 open pit coal mines. The protesters want the closure of the mines.

The largest of those mines in Germany's most populated region measures 12km (7,7 miles) across. More than 11000 people have been relocated in 50 years in the area.

The big lignite Hambach mine is in the center. It is the deepest open pit mine with respect to sea level: the bottom of the pit is 299 metres (981 ft) below sea level, the deepest man-made point on the Earth's surface.

Forty percent of Germanies electricity comes today from coal power stations and a quarter of that comes from this region. It is difficult to see that renewable energy will be able to fill the gap.
