A photo taken on October 16, 2022 shows a herd of sheep grazing on a meadow near the coal-fired power plant Neurath run by RWE and wind turbines in Luetzerath, western Germany. - German multinational energy company RWE plans to entirely demolish houses in the village of Luetzerath for coal mining. RWE also brought forward its exit from coal power to 2030 on October 4, 2022 amid fears the country's plans to abandon fossil fuels are wobbling following the energy crisis caused by Russia's war in Ukraine. Russia's curtailing of gas exports to Germany in the wake of the Ukraine war has forced Berlin to make the radical decision to restart mothballed coal power stations, at least temporarily.
