Dutch court upholds landmark climate change rule
Oct 10th, 2018 at 4:35pm
 
"Dutch appeals court upholds landmark climate change ruling

Netherlands ordered to increase emissions cuts in historic ruling that puts ‘all world governments on notice’ "

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2018/oct/09/dutch-appeals-court-upholds-...

But all is not lost.

From 2016 -

"China looks to export surplus energy to Germany

Selling power to central Asia and beyond falls into Beijing’s ‘one belt, one road’ ambitions

China’s proposed investments in long-distance, ultra-high voltage (UHV) power transmission lines will pave the way for power exports as far as Germany, the head of the national power grid said on Tuesday as he launched an initiative for cross-border power connections."

If China can send power to Germany a few extra km's shouldn't be a challenge.

And the "pollution" will be China's saving the Dutch.

It's not good if China is going to increase pollution to do that.

They have a free pass until 2030. And if course who can tell the source of power once it hits the grid.

More from FT -

"Liu Zhenya, chairman of State Grid, told reporters that wind and thermal power produced in Xinjiang could reach Germany at half the current cost of electricity there. “There are so many resources, but no market. We need to find it externally.” "
