In 2019, the share reached 41.1 percent. Germans paid a hefty price for the program. The average cost of electricity for German households has doubled since inception. By 2019, households had to pay 34 U.S. cents per kilowatt-hour, compared to 22 cents per in France and 13 cents in the United States.<\/p>\n<p>Now Russian energy is no longer available (jury is still out on who sabotaged the Nord Stream II pipeline) and winter is here. Without options to replace that energy, Germany is returning to reliable fossil fuel sources. At least 20 coal-fired power plants nationwide are being resurrected or extended past their closing dates to ensure Germany has enough energy to get through the winter. Green eurofags are losing their minds.<\/p>\n<h3>Coal mine demolishes neighboring wind farm to boost country&#8217;s energy supply, drawing ire of climate activists<\/h3>\n<p><strong><em>The German energy giant RWE admits the situation appears to be &#8216;paradoxical&#8217;<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Lawrence Richard<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>A German energy company is dismantling a wind farm to allow for an adjacent coal mine to expand its operations, officials said.<\/p>\n<p>The German coal mine Garzweiler, operated by energy company RWE, admits the situation appears to be &#8220;paradoxical&#8221; \u2014 sacrificing one energy source for another \u2014 but defended the decision as necessary to strengthen supplies amid the ongoing energy crisis, Oilprice.com reported.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We realize this comes across as paradoxical,&#8221; RWE spokesperson Guido Steffen said in a statement. &#8220;But that is as matters stand.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>One of the wind farm\u2019s eight wind turbines was dismantled last week, and two others are expected to be taken down next year.
