Stroom extreem duur vandaag in NL door een combinatie van Dunkelflaute (weinig zon en weinig wind) en de zeer hoge gasprijs. Stroom in Finland slechts fractie van Nederlandse stroomprijs vanwege stabiele kernenergie.

I hate to say this but the Belgians do this better than we do. Let the Dutch follow. Time for a nuclear renaissance.
Need a crumb of hope about Europe on a Saturday? Belgium has gone from rapidly closing and destroying its entire nuclear fleet (half of its power before 2023) to quickly relicensing and returning a few of them to the grid. PM @Bart_DeWever is trying to save as many as he can.

België en @ENGIE_energie zijn erin geslaagd de kerncentrales Doel IV en Tihange III in een half jaar volledig te reviseren, alle veiligheidsprocedures te doorlopen en weer op te starten. Terwijl sluiting gepland was. Dat is een applausje waard, vindt u niet? #grafiekvandedag

Nederland wil de volgende ASML. Dan moet je ook accepteren dat de oprichter miljardair kan worden. Constantijn van Oranje zegt het treffend: we vinden startups leuk, totdat ze groot worden en mensen er rijk van worden. Daar wringt onze ambitie. We willen wereldbedrijven bouwen, maar krijgen ongemak bij de financiële beloning voor degene die het risico nam. Wie jarenlang eigen geld, tijd en zekerheid inzet, mag bij succes ook uitzonderlijk verdienen. Waarom vieren we een voetballer met een miljoenencontract makkelijker dan een ondernemer die duizenden banen creëert?

Elke Zweedse kerncentrale heeft apart PER STUK meer energie opgeleverd dan ALLE windmolens in Denemarken samen ooit. En de @VVD en @DilanYesilgoz willen nu onze Noordzee volplempen met windmolens. KNETTERGEK zijn ze bij de VVD. Wie kan deze waanzin nog stoppen? Het roer moet om!
Fun fact: Sweden has four nuclear reactors that have each generated more electricity than all Danish wind turbines ever. Forsmark 3 and Oskarshamn 3 started in 1985, the year Denmark banned nuclear. Both still ahead of Denmark’s entire wind fleet.

I may have to change my opinion about Carney. This will stimulate capital investment, which I support. Remember though, tax cuts, without spending cuts are fraud
BIG tax change announced today. A “productivity mega deduction” broadens how much is eligible for immediate expensing. That cuts the effective tax on new investment in half. More to do, but this is big. Details: canada.ca/en/department-fina… #cdnecon

No mention of cost, of course. Liquefy in NL and ship to NO, then pipe it to the middle of the ocean... can't be cheap. Nuclear power is a much better solution: generate energy and don't produce CO2 in the first place.
JUST IN - Europe's largest "carbon capture facility," officially opens in the Netherlands, aiming to cut emissions by capturing and liquefying CO2, then transporting it to Norway, to store it 1.6 miles beneath the ​seabed.

ING-econoom Marieke Blom: Zweden bewijst dat je spaarders wél kunt overhalen om te beleggen. Hoe? Zweden voerde een fiscaal gunstig regime in, namelijk rendementsheffing met fictief rendement. Precies waar onze overheid zo graag vanaf wil met hun Wet werkelijk rendement 😆

Take a look at the CO2 emissions from EU nations over the past year, what do you notice? 🇪🇺 Of the top 5 cleanest grids, 4 have green and reliable nuclear power as part of it Meanwhile Germany still has the 3rd dirtiest energy grid. Shutting down nuclear was a major mistake 🇩🇪

🇩🇪 Germany made one of the most extraordinary energy decisions in modern history. In 2023, just as Europe was scrambling to replace Russian gas after it imposed sanctions on Moscow, Germany shut down its last nuclear reactors. It sounds too stupid to be true, but it is. For more than a decade, Germany was exporting as much as 50 terawatt hours of electricity a year. Today, it imports around 20 to 30 terawatt hours. Meanwhile, France kept its nuclear power, recovered from its 2022 outages, and is now exporting around 90 terawatt hours of electricity, an all-time high. The contrast is hard to ignore. One country shut down reliable power in the middle of an energy crisis. The other is now selling electricity to the rest of Europe. Sources: Oxford Economics, Haver Analytics / Writer: Mhedi

ARGENTINA's TAX REVENUE RISES 7% IN MARCH, LAFFER CURVE IN ACTION In the month of March, Argentina’s tax revenue grew by 7% in real terms, reaching $12.73 billion, according to the Tax Collection Agency (ARCA). This growth aligns with the Laffer Curve theory, which suggests that lowering taxes can boost revenue by reducing evasion and stimulating economic activity. It should be noted again that President Milei has always claimed that tax cuts encourage compliance. @JMilei
ARGENTINA's TAX REVENUE SOARS DESPITE TAX CUTS Despite the elimination and reduction of several taxes by President Milei, in February 2025 the Argentine Tax Collection Agency (ARCA) reached $ 13.52 billion, outpacing inflation with a real growth of nearly 11%. Key drivers included the Income Tax revenue, fueled by higher employee and retiree contributions, and a boost in Social Security funds. VAT collections also grew, reflecting increased imports and exchange rate effects. This robust performance underscores a resilient fiscal strategy amid economic adjustments, providing a positive signal for Argentina’s financial stability. Source: El Litoral @JMilei @LuisCaputoAR

🚨 Box 3 dreigt vast te lopen in de Eerste Kamer. En dat is misschien maar goed ook. Een belasting op niet-gerealiseerde winst blijft onrechtvaardig, terwijl de voorgestelde "verbeteringen" nauwelijks iets oplossen. Is dit het einde van de huidige box 3-plannen? debelegger.nl/post/box-3-her…
