Coal Mine Expansion Threatens Villages

WELZOW, GERMANY - MAY 28: A conveyor bridge deposits soil removed from one end of the Welzow Sued open-pit lignite coal mine to allow excavators to reach the coal underneath as the Schwarze Pumpe coal-fired power plant stands behind on May 28, 2015 near Welzow, Germany. Welzow Sued is operated by Swedish energy conglomerate Vattenfall and the company plans to expand the mine, which will require the resettlement of approximately 800 inhabitants in and around the nearby village of Proschim.
