Netherland's cabinet has taken a decision that many didn't think were an option just a few months ago, especially with the European Union's drive for their green energy agenda.

News reaching Uptownerd Publications is that the Dutch government has concluded plans to start running coal-fired power stations at full capacity again. It is currently said to be running at 35% capacity at the moment.

Recall that Netherland had sanctioned Russia alongside fellow EU and NATO members, leading Vladimir Putin to stop gas supply to them. This means that one of the country's major supplier of cheap gas has pulled the ranks on gas supply, leaving Netherland scampering for replacements.

So Coal is a green energy

babyboy4every1:
Majority of the UE were fools. How can you tell me to sanction a country that supply me cheap gas and I will do so because I belong to a useless NATO organisation. Can't they learn from turkey and Hungary who are also member of NATO.

RiceProducers:


Would you trade with your enemy that is on an expansionist path?.
Anyway most Nigerians thunk money is every thing and would trade even life for money, so it is understandable that this comment will arise.

To make it clear to you, buying Russian gas makes Russia richer. Rich Russia can afford more weapons to fight the war. That is the primary reason for the sanctions.
Most Russian supporters have inferiority complex for the US and EU and don't think objectively about issues.
They also wish that Russia could conquer, destroy and subjugate Ukraine quickly so that they "get stronger to match the West".
It is a sick point of view.
It minimises the Ukrainian a great deal and I wish most countries who support Russia this way also get invaded by outside powers in their bid to match other outside powers.

Russia feels Ukrainian sovereignty is subordinate to global strategic balance. They will pay a high price for that mistake and get destroyed in the process.

Putin says, the West is going down bit ot is not the US that has a dangerous war going on 400km from its capital.

The most stupid move by any country in the modern world.

We will see how this goes and history is already recording every event. Is it wisdom or naked power that triumphs.

Neither is gas.

.gas is far better than coal. Practical examples take a good look at a kitchen that makes use of gas..and the one that makes use of coal, compare and you will understand how gas is less of a pollutant to coal.

I used to think the west are smart, not knowing they are dumb. A country promise you are heaven and earth to fight a country that is keeping your life and prosperity. And you take that type of offer? Now they are also feeling just 0.00001% of what Russia can do to them, without even treating sanctions on them

gambojimeta:

They are very smart, if not for the west, you won't have a smart phone that your are typing on becuase your phone is likely running on android OS neither would you have internet to check on your favourite Russian news channel on telegram.

What can Russia do than to shut oil and gas which they have already done. That's Russia's joker. So what's next?

Russia biggest bank CEO says Russia may need up to 10 years to recover and here you are crying about Germany switching to charcoal. It doesn't look like they will freeze to death like you putards claimed anymore right

It's not the west that bring technology innovation to the world alone.
The west makes all technology innovation very expensive for common man to use, if not for China like how much will you be buying most of gadget, like phones,tv,etc. That is the reason they are trying all their efforts to bring China down with economy war. They can't match China in technology in 100 years.
