@bdd6b550 @04fc4742 I think that the Netherlands is doing ok in terms of green investments - the latest figure accounts to ~$28B of investments into green projects, and the emissions last year were 30% lower than in 1990: https://www.euronews.com/green/2023/04/27/how-the-netherlands-plans-to-spend-28bn-on-slashing-emissions-by-2030

On the other hand, $28B < $46.4B, so I'm not sure of what's the point of financially nudging the country towards sustainable alternatives while we keep spending more on the unsustainable ones.

The idea would even be simple - just reduce the investments into fossil projects, tax their emissions, and move more of that money towards sustainable projects.

Instead, we apparently prefer to fund Shell (https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/dutch-government-promises-support-shell-cut-co2-emissions-2023-04-13/), whose emissions alone account to 20% of what we should be expected to cut by 2030, and its continued hollow promises of carbon capture and green hydrogen - both of them so far only exist in the PowerPoint deck of some of their PR folks.
