What person using logic and science did not see this coming?
But, EVs there will still be able to charge up. Right???
“Green Dogma Forces the Dutch To Ration Electricity”
https://europeanconservative.com/articles/news/green-dogma-forces-the-dutch-to-ration-electricity/
More than 10,000 Dutch businesses—as well as hospitals, fire stations, and thousands of new houses—are waiting for electricity network connections, and in some cases will have to continue waiting until the mid-2030s.
The country has taken a rapid turn to ‘renewable’ energy in recent years, with millions of homes now having solar panels on their roofs, while shifting away from more reliable sources, especially gas. This zealous drive towards net zero is proving incompatible with rapid electrification increases, and has forced network operators to ration power.
Energy consultant Zsuzsanna Pató told the Financial Times that this should “definitely” serve as a warning for other European countries which are moving forward—or, more suitably, backwards—with the green agenda. The paper cited other analysts as saying that electricity rationing in the Netherlands is “a harbinger of what is likely to occur in other EU countries,” and that
The country [like many others across Europe] had been so used to relying on its gas resources that power grid upgrades had not kept pace.

Writer Michael A. Arouet added that “this is what happens when dogmatic green ideology beats common sense.”
This warning is, however, going unnoticed among many of Europe’s leading leftist groups. In Sweden, Left Party MEP Jonas Sjöstedt wrote last week in Expressen that officials should take notes on climate control from Spain, despite the role of net zero in April’s Iberian blackout. The paper’s editorial team has since written a scathing response, suggesting that Sjöstedt may have got “sunstroke” in Spain.
What seems odd to me is that they are moving away from natural gas which is highly efficient and very clean. This really is stupid.
Green Energy , paying more for an inferior product that only works sometimes ,LOL
Lol.
Who are the Dutch anyway?
There...fixed.
They voted for it. They wanted it. Now they’re getting it - good and hard.
What did they use for light before candles? \s
10,000 new construction projects waiting 10 years for power?
That will put a damper on things.
Surgery by candle light, sounds romantic.
