Critics slam renewables for land use but ignore fossil fuels' huge impact.
Germany's Hambach lignite mine: 85 sq km pit, 300m deep, snapped from ISS.
My first ever energy research protect professionally was on the externalities of lignite. In short: they are very significant!

Someone please gift me a nice anthracite sample
Bituminous or lignite also acceptable

For the first time, solar produced more electricity than lignite in Germany for the first half of the year. 60% of power generation was renewable.
Im ersten Halbjahr 2025 war Wind die stärkste Stromquelle in Deutschland. Solar hat erstmals die Braunkohle überholt und ist auf Platz zwei gelandet.

the outcome of their policies was such that the country literally started digging lignite again to remain stable

Sparked by a forest fire, hardly any flames are visible above ground, yet underground it still smoulders on a former lignite site in Thuringia and could burn for years. #EuropeNews

Bike lanes and nuclear power plants should both be easier to permit than open pit lignite mines.

Let's talk about how REPUBLICANS KILLED TEXAS COAL with deregulation.
Texas has vast fields of lignite coal, enough to meet Texas's power needs for hundreds of years, so long as you don't care about air pollution or climate change.
But the number of coal-fired power power plants is dwindling...

German electricity generation mix, 1990-2024.
After the nuclear exit, are they using more coal*? No, less.
More natural gas then? No, less.
Could they have used even less coal and gas if they hadn't shut down nuclear? Yes.
*) Lignite = brown coal.
