Germany's Lützerath: The village standing in the way of the last open-cast coal mine
Lunar landscape
The energy company is a major economic player in this rich and industrialized region. On October 4, RWE announced that it had signed a historic agreement with the regional Green MPs and the Federal Minister for the Economy and Climate, the environmentalist Robert Habeck: The company has committed to definitively cease mining Rhine coal in 2030, rather than 2038, as originally planned. According to RWE and the Greens, 280 million metric tons of coal will remain underground and the last villages that were due to be destroyed will be preserved. All except one: Lützerath.
