The Netherlands have, historically, always struck me as the most pragmatic country in Europe. Looks like they're keeping up the trend.

I am working closely with a company in the Netherlands and closely with several of their young engineers. They are a pleasure to work with. We have each enjoyed our visits to the other’s country (pre-COVID of course).

When their butts are freezing and their wallets are screaming, their hearts and minds will follow. The Dutch can pinch a penny just as hard as a Scot.

As Abe said “You can fool all of the people some of the time and some of the people all of the time but you can’t fool all of the people all of the time”.

Absolutely incredible statistics in this article with reference to wind/solar power facts vs governmental decrees for the end of fossil fuels 🤬

Hopefully, the next decade of reality will end this insanity. It’s hard to be optimistic though, watching the relentless March to oblivion.

There’s no mention about the railroad system. How much would it cost to electrify the entire railroad network and how much additional electrical production would be required to run it all?

Ask parts of the EU and then scale it up. They have been doing it for a long time ... in the denser parts of Europe.
