Green Electricity - Sunday with Lubach (S08) REACTION! 

This is a five year old video and the amount of solar and wind we generate has improved massively. There are still plenty of problems but the past years also showed we can make significant steps forward if we really want to.

Please react to more Arjen Lubach!

Don't worry. You can be more trustful on the green transition in the Netherlands. This video of Arjen Lubach is pretty much outdated (from 2018). Per last year, more than 50% of Dutch electricity was produced from green sources (renewable energy). And from the 50%, the share can be broken down as followed: 50% sunpower 30% wind 20% biomass So the share of biomass has become the minority even in the renewable energy sector. My source is the CBS (Centraal Bureau Statistiek). We are have so much renewable electricity that we are having grid issues (grid congestion) to cover the fluctuation of the produce electricity from sun and wind (especially sun as it is very fluctuative dependingen on the weather). We are now working to achieve the ambition to be climate neutral per 2050 (even though I feel that this is not feasible).

Your 100% correct as far as I'm concerned: greed and green are too close for comfort. 😢

It is the real green energy, because those US trees were green !!

I love how despite the language barrier and culture diffrences you enjoy arjen lubach just as much.😂😂😂

Fastest way for green energy production is nuclear power. No co2 only water vapor and a little bit of waste uranium which can be easily be disposed of underground

😒 pff, overheid weer lekker bezig... Love the lubach reactions, keep them coming 😇

Fun little science fact is that green is also one of the more useless colours in the lightspectrum. Chlorophil reflects it back because it can't absorb or use that wavelength of light. So we're using the wavelength of light the plant can't or doesn't use for energy to describe something that's good for the environment. It's more than a little bit ironic.

Still liking that small flag behind you... I'm coming from that area... De Achterhoek in the Netherlands

Hi Paul, do you know the song "Money makes he world go round" by Liza Minelli? That says it all.

In 1997 my colleague was quite upbeat about his new energy contract. Boasting about it he said to me that he had green energy, paid a bit more for it but hey, he was happy to do so because it was green energy. After questioning him about how was he so sure that his electricity was green, did he had a separated line to his house as opposed to his neigbors or did the electricity came through the same power lines. It got him thinking and the next day he was furious because he fell for that scam. Arjen's story is not quite true either, many people, including my brother in law have a net zero at the end of the year because the solar panels produce enough or more energy than they consume. I'd say that that is quite green.

0:33 holy based

Its a market, the 'green stamp'. Now 'we' have so much solarcells, the grid is having problems. Now we pay to sell our energie back to the grid. Madness..

Green Bay Packers?

❤️✌️

3:30 That is not how electricity networks work. They add electricity for the amount you use. They do not deliver that electricity to your house like physical objects. Since we are not subatomical, it is an electromagnetic wave to us.

Damn bro. Istill want that cap u have, u got any merch? Grtz from Holland

All small bandages that hardly or do not work... without thinking it through... and unfortunately I don't know the solution yet either.😅

Lol now we make a lot of green enegry and using more energy so now ouwer old network cant handel hit and so if we make to muts Energy now . Now we have to pay for that

Have you heard: de staat - peace love & profit

100 years, then all land ice is gone and all of us Dutch folk live in Germany. People don't care, we're doomed.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

9:05 They use models to deside these things. Aparently the theoretical model based on assumpsions, usualy made by people who have studied management or politics, told them it is a good idea. They are also quite good at extrapolation... The man from the university where I study, asked for most intervieuws anout european climate and enviroment policies regarding farming has studied "bestuurskunde", which is similar to management. It took very long until they finally asked farmers, professors in subjects regarding farming etc. And stil that guy keeps popping up as an expert in agriculture.🤦🏻
