Insane footage of the Lilanagar river changing course and flowing into Dipka, one of @secl_cil’s biggest pit mines, cleared to extract 35 million tonnes of coal each year. Nature has its own plans. Video via @alokshuklacg. pic.twitter.com/Y3cR2qeTrD

River swollen by heavy, climate-pumped rains, changes Course and empties into open pit coal mine.
UPDATE: another view below
It’s a bit of a hint that the next step is pumped hydro!
brilliant idea.
Dipka lake in 3…2…
0.3% of present human carbon supply.
Ooh, throw in some soap so we can get “clean coal”!
Actually the best ever description of clean coal.
One less coal mine, one more lake.
Sometimes exhausted pit mines are purposely turned into lakes. This is just a little ahead of schedule!
