The panic is over

Arnot turns to Jaspers “Climate optimist” In the face of current climate panic. Can our children and grandchildren live in the Netherlands in 2100? Should we still want children because of the climate crisis? Few people realize that the Netherlands can easily become resilient to climate change – and that it can also be done relatively cheaply. We can continue for many more centuries in the Low Countries.

Jaspers writes that things should be different. The “renewable” energy transition that the Netherlands has embarked on in recent years is very expensive, will not save the world and will harm our prosperity, security and well-being. Just as climate policy in previous governments was characterized by gloom and failure, Jaspers chose sober analysis and opportunity.

Against taboos

An energy transition without “renewable” dogmas chooses nuclear power plants rather than a North Sea full of wind turbines. An energy transition without green taboos will ensure that your children and grandchildren will still be able to eat meat and go on holiday by plane in 2050 and 2100.
