They can use the blades as support girders in the mine.

A wind farm is being dismantled in western Germany to make way for an expansion of an open-pit lignite coal mine in a “paradoxical” situation highlighting the current prioritization of energy security over clean energy in Europe’s biggest economy.

When you believe in things that are nonsense, an encounter with reality will seem rife with paradoxes.

...energy security over clean energy...

I believe that is the correct priority.

Freezing in the dark has an amazing ability to focus the mind.

It’s amazing what happens when reality kicks in. If only they did the same when Merkel invited millions of her pet violent Muslims.

I believe Germany made the largest land machine in the world to dig up their coal. I think it’s the largest. I’ve seen it. It’s massive.

But, but, don’t we need the electricity from wind farms to recharge our EVs?

I see this as more of a course correction than devolution. “Green” energy sources are still a utopian fantasy where large-scale energy needs are concerned. Still, you know this must stick in the EU’s craw. Schadenfreude, baby!

“Paradoxical”

Let’s see...high priced, very unreliable power that chops up millions of raptors, has a short economic life, requires 1,000 TONS of concrete in the ground, has worthless blades that cannot be recycled, and will never amount to a hill of beans.

Versus...dispatchable, low cost power that will keep people from freezing in the winter.

Where’s the “paradox”?

The Germans may want to think about salvaging this abandoned excavator in former East Germany. Start with an oil change, fresh grease in all the fittings. new starting batteries... and a tanker truck full of WD-40. Leave the fresh paint for later.

Dismantle the wind farm? Just burn them along with the coal.

This is sacrilegious! Destroying a windmill for a coal mine.

You don’t say……

Reality finally smacked someone upside the head.

And they listened.
