To make it short, Dutch energy developed around its giant gas bubbles within its territory (
source). We had such big gas bubbles that we transformed our households into relying primarily on gas (
still 90% of households rely on gas). Dutch gas was cheap, abudant and clean. But due to 'green' policies/reports/research, the Netherlands had to stop fracking for gas even though we could still supply the Netherlands for hunderds of years (there are still many giant gasbubbles left). So now we have to transition 8 million households to solely rely on electricity for 'global warming', which makes no sense because
gas is already the cleanest fossil fuel. Also we don't have the required energy infrastructure for the transition (companies need to wait 2-6 years for extra electricity) nor the funds to fund such projects. And now we also want to spend more on the military (which is a welfare organisation, read my older posts), which we also cannot fund. It makes no fucking sense and then they want to fund it by increasing the VAT tax of 21% to 21,4%, which also wouldn't make the budget break-even.
tl;dr 90% of Dutch households reliant on gas (the cleanest fossil fuel), due to 'green' reports (which make no logical sense), the Netherlands had to transition households to rely soley on electricity which is impossible because the energy grid is already overburdened and we don't have the money for it even with increased taxes. The Netherlands could have stayed prosperous if unironicly the government was abolished
out for that.
