Pictures from my Coal Mine in Germany

last year my old coal mine celebrate its 101 birthday.
My coal mine where i am now working celebrate a few month ago its 110 birthday

Here is a picture from the last coal waggon from Bergwerk Lippe:

 

Cool, really like some of the pictures.

 

Simply fantastic!

 

thank you guys.i have enough more pictures.if you are interested,i can show you some more here.

 

Very interesting, thanks for sharing with us!

Is it true that Germany plans to run most of the country on renewable energies such as solar, wind, etc. by the next few years? I've heard they are even implementing or working on a new drain/sewage system as to waste less water and add self cleaning ceramic polymer filters to the system to make it more autonomous and recycle more water, among other great energy related projects the government's working on.
Is because of this that they are closing down the coal mines?

A friend of mine has recently been there for a couple of weeks for a seminar on this topic and was stunned by all the things Germany is doing to become independent from fossil fuels, it seems they are going all in for it, which of course might as well raise some big political/economical issues.

 

yes,what you say is true.solar and wind power are the energy of the future.no CO2 factories more.Other countrys should do the same, especial the USA and China.
the reason why the mines are all closed is that the coal from other countrys like china is much cheaper than the germyn coal.if i hear this,i must laugh,because the coal from china or other countrys is not more than a few cents per 100kg cheaper than the german coal!!

 

Those underground photos are intense.

 

yes,i like them.if geht the chance to make some new pics from under the earth, i will post the picture here in this thread.

 

US Coal companies have stronghold in Washington preventing such advancements but they are right on one thing... price. If US switches to Wind and Solar we'd pay 1000% more on energy costs.

Honestly, nuclear is the only viable option, but of course you have the fears and NIMBY mentality of the citizenry not wanting it anytime soon.

 

People will be ever found a reason for beef...no atomic power,no CO2,no no no..what a funny world.

 

some of those pics remind me of the underground sections in fallout 3 lol

great pics all the same!

 

thanks...yes the underground pics are a wonderfull place to make a zombie film
:katamari:

 

You said eventually they're going Chinese and Russian. What will you do after the mines are closed?

 

good question.i dont know.maybe i go to austria or switzerland and work there in the tunnel construction.

 

no problem.the pictures are all from the coal mine wich is closed..i think nobody knows that the pictures are from me

 

We Do!!! Way cool pics, man! I think my lungs hurt already! :110:
-ud

 

A nuclear Germany would be at risk from terrorism, they say.

 

did they say that??i dont think so..nuclear power is to dangerous they think..Thats a matter of opinion.
I want to made some pics from the heavy machines,but there are to many people,so i cant make pics

 

Sweet Pictures! It's kinda cool to see how things have changed over years. I remember seeing some pictures of coal mining from the early 1900's and now to see those, it's cool (and in color). :lol:
