Germany begins dismantling wind farm for coal (euobserver.com)

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?

I advise caution with Hersh's reporting. It was weak to begin with, relying on a single source. It's not improved at all since publication, with no one coming forward even anonymously to corroborate the claims. Seymour Hersh has published important stories, but he's gotten sloppy with this one.

The US is the most obvious party to have carried this out and is the only one who would benefit.

It's so obvious the US President might as well have come out and said if there's a war, Nord Stream 2 will be destroyed
