Great, Instead of cars running on petrol they can run on coal instead.

Well, the Netherlands will have the same type of renewable energy targets as the rest of the EU so that should be reduced by 2025.

I believe they already buy a fair chunk of their electricity from Norway, which is practically all renewable.

~60% or so of the actual consumed energy in (mainland) Norway currently comes from renewable sources.

Norway exports quite a bit of energy which is not "renewable" most of it is powered by gas and trash incineration.

We're talking electricity here, not all energy, and 96% of electricity in Norway is from renewable (nearly all hydro).
Current renewable usage in NL is less than 4%.What can possibly go wrong?
