German coal mine standoff escalates as police move on protesters

German police are back in the village of Luetzerath where they are continuing to evict climate activists for a second day.
The protesters do not want the village to be demolished to make way for a coal mine.
Police say 200 activists left voluntarily on Wednesday but there are around 300 still in the village.
German police have started to evict hundreds of climate protesters to make way for the expansion of a coal mine.
Activists have been camping on the edge of the mine in the deserted village of Lutzerath for the past two years.

Al Jazeera’s Step Vaessen reports from Lutzerath, Germany.

As a liberal minded progressive German I'm really happy about the fact that we have no people, country or borders of our own. It makes me feel virtuous and morally superior to everyone else. In my head I tell myself that my thinking is natural and normal globally.

Solar and wind is untainable because of cost and the amount power they produce

Watching Liberal European politicians struggle to power their countries.... after 20 years of dismantling their own energy infrastructure (oil, gas, coal, nuclear).... brings me joy....
