      A fairly new vantage point over the coal belts of the Garzwiler II opencast mine. Numerous opencast mining areas are now being used for photovoltaics. Wind turbines have been growing into the sky on the recultivated areas for some time now. Quite a contrast between old and new energy generation.

        View of the Garzweiler open-cast mine. Here, you can see the old energy source (coal) right next to the new, future-oriented energy sources: solar (PV) and wind (wind turbines).
