This is not an episode of the war in Ukraine, this is an episode of Germany shooting itself in the foot: against the background of the growing energy crisis, the Germans, after closing all the nuclear power plants, are also destroying coal.
The video shows the Mehrum power plant in the German commune of Hohenhamelen (Federal State of Lower Saxony). There, the 130-meter-high boiler building, which was one of the tallest buildings in the station, was destroyed. To collapse the building, about 700 kg of explosives were used, as well as over 2,000 detonators and special cutting charges.
The thermal power plant, which operated for half a century, was finally shut down in 2024 as part of Germany's energy transition. There is still a 250-meter chimney in the area, which is planned to explode early next year. It is clear that there is no need for industry and heat in German houses - beautiful video content with explosions is enough.
