You fell for misinformation.
This is a small site. The owner of the wind turbines had to phase them out due to them being at the end of their lifespan. As there is coal under them. A deal was stipulated a VERY long time ago where when the wind turbines would have had to be removed, an expansion of a coal mine would be built there at the agreement that it will be dismantled by 2030. We are talking about "multiple years" time ago, before the 2030 deadline.
I commented more on general production of energy in Germany... They did in fact recently shut down nuclear plants and upped coal energy production.
In fact thats simply not true
Really?
