Marcel Crok wrote that network costs had risen sharply according to him. He claimed that network operators blamed households, stating that they all wanted to cook at the same time. Crok argued that the electricity consumption of households had remained constant for years, while the production of solar and wind energy had increased significantly. He asked whether people still believed the explanation from the network operators. #energie #duurzaamheid #klimaat (translated)

Dorien Rookmaker wrote that a complete transition to heat pumps would make the Netherlands heavily dependent on electricity, according to her. In extreme cold, millions of heat pumps would run simultaneously and increase the electricity demand, potentially resulting in local power outages. In the event of a power failure, heating and hot water would also be lost, as there would be no gas network as a backup. Rookmaker further stated that the winter heating demand coincides with periods when there is little solar energy and sometimes little wind available, which she believes threatens supply reliability. A digitally controlled power grid with smart heat pumps would also be more vulnerable to cyber attacks, she said. She called for hybrid systems with green gas, hydrogen, and nuclear energy, in addition to large-scale expansion of the electricity grid, to mitigate those risks. Additionally, Rookmaker warned of what she called a "concentration risk": if everyone follows government policy and that course later proves to be wrong, it would cause significant problems for both society and the government, according to her. https://t.co/rUtyMQbk6d #energievoorziening #warmtepompen #duurzaamheid (translated)

Piet Grasspriet wrote that people first needed to stop using gas and cook electrically, after which he suggested that heat pumps, home batteries, and solar water heaters were proposed as solutions in succession. He stated that changing rules and the cessation of net metering had resulted in homes being filled with equipment and money running out. #duurzaamheid #energietransitie #groeneenergie (translated)

Dr. Sc. Ferdinand Meeus called it good news and wrote that the largest solar battery park in Portugal had gone bankrupt because it was not profitable. According to him, sunny weather led to a surplus of electricity on the grid and significant price drops. He described that electricity as "wobbly current." (translated)

If I'm not mistaken, most military vehicles also run on diesel. If you want to fight a nice war with Russia as @SecGenNATO, the fuel is out. And then? Solar panels on the tanks? Sails? No? Can't be done? Then push? Can @jpaternotte, @rubenbrekelmans, and @RobJetten do that? Jan shouldn't nibble too much on the Ozempic or else he will blow away. And then with @DefensieMin as a siren on the bow? No? Can't do that? So electric then? With the engineers who install the charging stations? Although, for that, we don't have enough natural gas again. And if I'm not mistaken, the scarcity in diesel is closely related to the scarcity in kerosene. If you want to bomb Russia with your mighty F35s, your tank is already empty above Germany. You have to go the rest flying. Do we maybe still have the F35PG* variant in our collection? Can we fly that towards Russia from the Vaalserberg with favorable winds? Can that be done with all the bombs and grenades? We don't have the latter either? Jesus... Or can we let that F35 fly on LPG? That would be nice. The price of LPG usually doesn’t go up that fast. There is another problem: you can only bomb during the day if you want to refuel everywhere. At night, that’s only possible along the highway. But then you do have a runway. But even this isn't without problems: I have a Mercedes R500L, an eight-cylinder. With a small LPG tank. In no time, you find yourself at the pump with that thing. And you get cramps in your thumb because you have to hold that button for so long. With such an F35, you would have to land and take off about 20 times quickly to get to Russia. The return journey is less problematic. #Putin has enough gas. Although, I’m not sure he has the right tank connection. And I think you have to press the installation button for a very long time before the tank of such an F35 is full. Who is going to do that? @DefensieStas? He can probably handle it. Then he can still press his mustache somewhere (against something). Can we maybe send the navy? We still have a few frigates, right? What do you say? Cannon broken? You don't need that at all: you can't hit anything with it anyway. Just ask the Americans. They have experience with that by now. Well. All quite tricky. But our leaders will surely find a solution. One of the recurring themes in the decline of superpowers throughout history is that the powers that be increasingly disconnected from reality in the (dozens of) years leading up to it and then suddenly realized that the (military) power they thought they had was no longer there at all. Does that seem familiar to you? I think #Putin is pouring himself an extra glass of vodka tonight. And that Xi Jin Ping is having a lavish dinner tonight with Peking duck, babi pang pang, and Bam Goreng. *Paraglider. #militair #energie #diesel (translated)

Gas per kuub tussen de € 1,52 en 1,87 per kuub. (Ik betaal met een vast contract voor drie jaar 1,34). Mijn vaste contract liep begin dit jaar af: toen betaalde ik nog 88 cent per kuub. Benzineprijs € 2,35 tot €2,45 wat ik zo om me heen zie. Tot een jaar geleden was dat volgens mij nog zo rond de 1,90. Elektriciteit - nu betaal ik met een vast contract 0,24 cent per Kwh. Ik heb geen dal of normaal tarief, dit geldt voor de hele dag. De saldering stopt volgend jaar. Daarmee zijn mijn 28 zonnepanelen nagenoeg waardeloos geworden: In de zomer wekken ze veel meer energie op dan ik kan gebruiken - waarvoor ik een luttel bedragje krijg - en in de winter is het bij lange na niet genoeg. Als blijkt dat ze me geld gaan kosten, trek ik ze rücktsichtslos van het dak. Weg ermee! Hoe vind je zelf dat het gaat @MinPres? PS. Wat ik een schrale troost vind, is dat al die leden van de Groene Khmer die bij mooi weer op de A12 zitten en die om het hardst schreeuwen voor het afschaffen van fossiele brandstoffen, straks ook zitten te bibberen met een dubbel paar gebreide sokken aan hun voeten: wegens de kou of wegens de gasrekening. Of allebei. Of dat ze terug moeten naar mammie en pappie omdat ze hun kamer niet meer kunnen betalen omdat de huurbaas de prijzen voor gas en licht doorberekent. Die gedachte maakt me dan wel weer een beetje blij. #Energieprijzen #Duurzaamheid #Gasprijzen

Gisteren stond ik in de auto stil voor een stoplicht en achter mij stopte een oude benzine Citroën met daarin een smoezelig uitziende blanke vrouw met een keffiyeh om de nek en een palestina sticker op de zonneklep. Er lopen echt meer gekken vrij rond dan er in er in de GGZ zitten #stoplicht #maatschappij #gekheid

NASA heeft een nieuwe krater van 221 meter breed en 41 meter diep op de maan ontdekt, mogelijk de grootste vers gevormde krater in ons zonnestelsel, die tussen 11 april en 22 mei 2025 is ontstaan door de inslag van een asteroïde ter grootte van een drie verdiepingen tellend gebouw. #NASA #maankrater #ruimtevaart

Je zou na de sluiting kerncentrales (en bijhorende gascentrales), zonnepaneelcertificaten, diesel- en gaspremies denken dat de overheid ooit afleert om dit soort extremistische planeconomie en totaalverboden op efficiënte technologie te leggen. Maar nee, we gaan het nog eens overdoen. Dit keer zonder groenen. Zieners! #energie #duurzaamheid #klimaat
