Hambach Open-Case Lignite Mine

Greenpeace activists protest with a hot air balloon over the coal power plant Niederaussem near Cologne for more climate protection and a fast exit from coal. The hot air balloon is decorated with an image of the earth, beneath the basket a 4x7m banner hangs which reads: "Klimakrise Made in Germany" (Climate Crisis made in Germany). The brown coal power plant is one of the dirtiest in Germany.
