One might ask: why does the taxpayer pay for all this ? A valid [US] question.
Why not let the entrepeneur [mining company] pay for the mess they made ?
First of all, the prosperity for the nation has already been taxed.
And second: given that all raised production costs will ultimately be payed by the consumer... why not let the responsibility be on the more trust worthy government Regarding the execution of the restauration.
May be more and stricter regulation on the method of mining would be more effective.

"Jun 11, 2025
Across Germany, the scars of a once-booming coal industry still mark the landscape. But in a visionary shift, these remnants of the past are being reborn. Germany is flooding its old coal mines to create artificial lakes—vast, shimmering bodies of water that not only breathe new life into damaged ecosystems but also offer recreational escapes for local communities. It’s a bold and imaginative reclamation effort that sparks an intriguing question: Can these man-made lakes truly heal the environmental devastation left behind by decades of mining? The transformation is far more complex than simply filling holes with water. It requires delicate engineering, ecological restoration, and long-term environmental monitoring. And yet, Germany is pushing forward, turning its industrial past into a cleaner, greener future."
