  A small fraction of the 290 million tons of coal to be extracted from Lützerath will be used for steel.
  Just enough to allow RWE, the coal giant behind this travesty, to mount arguments like the one you just did.

  Can't they just mandate the coal be used for steel production then? Getting coal from elsewhere would be even worse for the environment if its needed to be brought in from further away
