Check out these amazing photos of coal mining and its devastating effects on the landscape in Germany. And people say windmills look ugly!

 

 

The photographer is Bernhard Lang. The photo gallery shows aerial photographs of the largest opencast coal mining pit of Germany.

Shocking. This shows unfortunately how countries like Germany that invests a lot in renewable energy are still depending on fossil fuels. Germany produces 45% of electricity from coal (worse than the worldwide data, 41%). The photo perfectly explains the duel between fossil fuels and renewable power.
