German energy giant RWE has begun dismantling a wind farm to make way for a further expansion of an open-pit lignite coal mine in the western region of North Rhine Westphalia.

I thought renewables were cheaper than coal. How is this possible?

As far as Germany specifically, I think one I heard about ISPs being required to discount customers who fall victim to low bandwidth. In other words, they can't sell you a 50mb/s contract and then say "sorry, bandwidth is bad here so you will only get 20mb/s."

Yeah, little online test about it, too, but in the end even that took years and there isn't really any feasible way to get what you want other than suing the company
