"Farmers' party" BBB and other Dutch far-right parties warn that reducing our colossal livestock sector would endanger food security.

Late night show host Arjen Lubach gathered and presents the facts. It's the other way around: our livestock needs massive food imports and takes up lots of land.

1/7 🇨🇳 🛢️THE GREAT CHINESE OIL MYSTERY 🛢️ 🇨🇳

Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz, but oil hasn't skyrocketed.

The shocking reason?

China abruptly slashed imports, single-handedly averting a global crisis.

Two-thirds of global energy is wasted, mostly as combustion heat.

Electrification gets rid of most of that waste rather than replacing it.

From my keynote at the Eurelectric PowerSummit.

We have something new for you!

Today we launched the Bruegel ETS Tracker. Based on the great work by Jan Abrell you can now easily access:
- emissions by sector, location, installation, time
- allocation
- auction revenues
- carbon prices

De woningnood is nog steeds niet opgelost, het klimaatprobleem is groter dan ooit. Er zijn 100.000 wachtplekken bij de GGZ. De vermogenskloof is gigantisch. Veel kinderen kunnen niet, of alleen met honger, naar school. Maar gelukkig gaan we dankzij de VVD extra streng kijken naar onnodig toeteren!

Gisteren kwam TenneT met haar jaarlijkse monitor voorzieningszekerheid. Een fraaie analyse met een heldere boodschap: de NL stroomvoorziening loopt nog meer risico dan eerder gedacht.
Interessant daarbij zijn de aannamen, ook de verschillen met de vorige editie. Een draadje. (1/n)

JUST DROPPED: Europe thought it won the energy war. Build LNG terminals, swap Russian pipelines for LNG, job done.

Then Hormuz closed & prices doubled. We didn't end our dependency. We just changed who we are dependent on.

But bright spots on horizon.

France has ended up in a strange position after using some €250bn of tax-payer money to build a fleet of nuclear power stations. Wind and solar power is merrily entering the French power market at prices nuclear production can't match, resulting in huge surpluses of power.

The capture rate of solar in Spain ⬇️⬇️

Where there is now nearly 35GW of solar live.

A strong signal for required flexibility, from storage or elsewhere and a leading signal for across Europe.

We were told nuclear's cost problem resulted from not building enough reactors to the same design. Sizewell C - if it goes ahead - would be the 7th and 8th of EDF's EPR design. Any ecomodernists out there want to hazard a guess as to what N is needed to deliver Nth-of-a-kind cost savings?
when the FT revealed in January that the cost of building the Sizewell C nuclear plant had risen to around £40bn they all denied it

now we can reveal the actual price tag - to be announced this week - and it is £38bn
