Energy subsidies that make sense right now:
- free public transport in cities;
- remote VAT on bikes and e-bikes;
- buying back petrol cars if someone switches it for an EV;
- installing EV charging points in gas stations.

Energy subsidies that don’t make sense:
- lowering taxes on petrol and diesel to ease the shock.

@juliette @patrick the first reactions I’ve come across after the possibility of a cheap off-peak transit ticket in the Netherlands were “if this happens I am going to take the car more often”, “this won’t help taking the car a km less” and “there is for more than a year of oil stored in the Dutch ports, the government should just confiscate it”. People have no clue how bad the diesel crisis is going to be the next months, because there was always enough of it 🫠
