Well, 1978 was a long time ago and environmental concerns weren't a big thing back then. RWE had all rights to do what they did, even the Green party acknowledged that when the Hambach Forest situation escalated.

About the Tesla factory thing, those protests are mostly done by a handful of environmental activists and - most importantly - NIMBYs from the surrounding area.
