Der Streit um die Braunkohle | Quarks

A program from the Quarks archive (TV premiere in 2017). The Rhenish lignite mining area, with its four power plants, is Europe's largest source of carbon dioxide. In order to access the valuable lignite deposits found beneath the forest trees, the Hambach Forest, for example, has been deforested for 40 years. The next deforestation season is scheduled to begin here in October 2018. Environmentalists want to prevent this and are occupying the forest in tree houses. These days, the energy company RWE is having the police clear the forest. This dispute over lignite has been going on for years.
