The author wrote that, according to her, hardly any forest would remain in the nature reserve Huis Ter Heide, in the municipality of Loon op Zand. The depicted road was, in her opinion, one of the many access routes for the installation of 24 high-voltage masts. She argued that after the installation, the trees under the cables would also be felled. She noted that cycling in the forest was prohibited because cyclists would damage nature. #natuur #bosbescherming #duurzaamheid (translated)

From 2029, the network tariffs for electricity will vary based on consumption and time, which means that especially in the evening and during peak morning hours, electricity will become more expensive, resulting in some households benefiting while others, including sustainable residents and people with medical equipment, may expect higher costs. #Energieprijzen #Netwerktarieven #Duurzaamheid (translated)
"This is about the least effective thing you can do. Furthermore, there are doubts about the effectiveness of the measure: right at the end of a long block, devices will be switched on en masse, which could cause a new peak in electricity demand, independent energy researcher Auke Hoekstra stated recently in the Volkskrant." #Energietransitie #Stroomtarieven #Duurzaamheid (translated)

Beach Roy wrote that the British population was pleading for a return to the EU at that time, while #Nexit was trending. He argued that a Nexit for the Netherlands as a trading nation would be even more disastrous than for the United Kingdom. According to Roy, one third of the national income comes from exports. He referred to economists from the University of Groningen, who, according to him, expected a total export decrease of approximately 45%, a 43.5% decrease in industrial exports, an 18% decrease in agricultural exports, and about a 2.4% lower national income in the event of a Nexit. He also predicted severe damage for Rotterdam and Schiphol. Furthermore, Roy wrote that converting euros to guilders would make everything more expensive. Banks and asset managers would lose the EU passport that allowed them to operate in the internal market from Amsterdam. According to him, part of those activities had already shifted to the continent after Brexit; a Nexit would reverse that trend. Roy also stated that working, studying, and living in other EU countries would become subject to permits and that the recognition of diplomas and professional qualifications would need to be re-established. He described this as only a part of the consequences and used derogatory terms for advocates of a Nexit. #Nexit #EU #Nederland (translated)
Maarten van den Berg wrote that Stedin wanted to increase the network tariffs by 22 percent in 2027 to €914 per year, regardless of gas or electricity consumption. According to him, the tariffs were stable around €400 from 2015 to 2022 and have more than doubled since 2022, from €441 to €914. He suggested that the index with 2015 set at 100 would reach 234 next year and called this a disgrace of the energy transition. #energie #energietransitie #nettarieven (translated)
