These protests come as energy prices continue to skyrocket across Europe. Most Europeans are struggling to pay their energy bills, yet Thunberg still continues to fight energy expansion.
Even though Germany has made a self-destructive pledge to phase out all coal-generated power by 2030, climate activists still believe these efforts are not enough. They simply lack an understanding of reality.
A different camera angle shows the same event as police carry Thunberg away from her fellow protestors.

Thunberg was also detained, as covered by DailyMail, on Sunday at the exact same protest.
Her group of ‘climate activists’ can be seen being pushed by police in the video below. All of this footage provides the activists with exactly the fuel that they need in order to peddle their false narratives.

Coal power is essential. Not only in developed nations across Europe and North America, but especially in rising industrial nations across the continent of Africa.
Poorer nations build their infrastructure on coal. The restrictions being placed on coal plants and mines only seek to subdue the chances of improving the quality of life across third-world nations across the globe.
These ineffective and dangerous policies also serve to increase energy prices across the entire world.
It is regressive to stop the expansion of our energy industry. It stands directly against the furthering of our species, and the betterment of life.
