tageszeitung (taz)

The Moorburg ruling means the plant will have to stop using river water for cooling, and instead run with its cooling tower only - making it dirtier and less efficient, writes Sven-Michael Veit in a commentary for left-wing newspaper tageszeitung (taz). “This would turn the fossil climate killer conclusively into a prime example of how to use the maximum amount of money and resources to generate as little power as possible, and a lot of dirt,” writes Veit. “There is a chance that the ruling will hasten the closure of this coal monster from primeval times.”
