While climate protection policy is subject of fierce political fights, mankind is quietly witnessing a technological revolution of a scale not seen since the invention of the steam engine in 1776: Electrical renewable power, namely wind and solar power, is now more competitive in costs than fossil power. As a consequence, fossil power plants become obsolete, and are being demolished - here and now.

The video shows the demolition of the 285 meter tall chimney of the coal power plant Werne in region Lippe of NRW.

To me, this view gives hope that our children have a future.
