The town of L眉tzerath that has become a symbolic battle ground for climate activsits in Germany will be demolished to make room for a nearby coal mine, the state government of North-Rhine Westphalia (NRW) in western Germany has said. The decision to tear down the village located near the Garzweiler mining site came amid a wider revamp of the state's coal policy, by which NRW will end the use of the fossil fuel by 2030 but temporarily increases its use of lignite (brown coal) power plants to provide generation capacity in the energy crisis. The NRW economy ministry, headed by Mona Neubaur of the Green Party, a governing coalition partner with the conservative CDU, in a statement: 鈥淚f L眉tzerath were to be preserved, the production volume required to maintain security of supply over the next eight years could not be achieved, the stability of the opencast mine could not be guaranteed and the necessary recultivation could not be carried out.鈥�
The activist group L眉tzerath Lebt (L眉tzerath Lives) on Twitter: 鈥淭he Greens are proving that we cannot count on them when it comes to climate protection. We pay for this 鈥榮upply security鈥� with our planetary basis of life. Who is to be cared for here? RWE's profits? We demand an economy of needs!鈥�

RWE鈥檚 plans nevertheless mean that some 280 million tonnes of coal will remain in the ground. Climate activists have been protesting RWE鈥檚 plans since a court earlier this year ruled in favour of the company鈥檚 mining site expansion, which would include the area where L眉tzerath is located. The court had argued there were no alternative open-cast mines to meet necessary lignite demand. 鈥淪ecurity of supply is the order of the day,鈥� RWE CEO Markus Krebber. 鈥淎t the same time, climate protection remains one of the key challenges of our time. RWE supports both.鈥�
