Trends of Renewable Energy Development in the Netherlands
This article discusses both statistics and examples of the introduction of alternative energy sources. To date, the Netherlands is an advanced region in this industry. The government is not only interested in the environmental situation, but also seeks to make the process of transition to alternative sources as «painless» for the population by reducing the cost of the final product for consumers. In addition, the rapid development is facilitated by the geographical and climatic position of the state, so the close proximity to the reservoirs provides strong winds, which are extremely necessary for the production of «green energy». To date, the trends are obvious: it is necessary to move from the usual oil and gas and coal fuel to an alternative that is less harmful to the environment.
