German energy giant RWE has begun dismantling a wind farm to make way for a further expansion of an open-pit lignite coal mine in the western region of North Rhine Westphalia.

I thought renewables were cheaper than coal. How is this possible?

This is infowars Level dumb and misleading

What's misleading? There's coal under these turbines, they're being dismantled to expand the coal mine, ergo they're being torn down for coal

That is not the obvious interpretation, and the headline (and description added by OP) are deliberately written to imply something that's not true.

That's not the headline or the description written by the OP lol

It's the text in-between the two.

The text written by the OP is a rhetorical question about what I quoted, not a description. To read it you had to read the quoted text too, or decide to skip it for some reason.
