European Newspaper Says Citizens Better Get Used To Not Having Electricity All The Time

One of the biggest newspapers in the Netherlands is warning its readers that Dutch citizens should get accustomed to the notion that electricity will not always be available to them in the future.

NRC, one of the largest papers in the country, published a lengthy piece on June 14 warning that the Netherlands’ green transition is driving up electricity demand more quickly than needed supporting infrastructure can be built, a situation that will likely lead to grid reliability issues if the status quo is maintained over the coming years. The authors describe how a transition away from affordable, reliable and conventional energy resources and toward green energy generation — like solar and wind — is teaming up with growing demand attributable to the country’s push to electrify industry and other parts of everyday life could overwhelm the country’s power system.


“The message is clear: the Netherlands will have to get rid of the idea that electricity is available at all times and for everyone,” a translated version of the NRC piece states. “And drastic measures will have to be taken to prevent the worst problems. But which ones and how successful they will be, grid operators and the government are largely in the dark.”

  Does that mean people won't be able to drive their EVs as much?  If so, it's better for the environment anyway.

Also, please get accustomed to the notion that food, shelter, medical care, heat, clothing or just about anything else that marks us as more developed than cavemen will not always be available in the future. Thank you. That is all.

John Podesta says communism is the solution to climate change. Well, not overtly - he doesn't want to admit it, I'm sure.
