Milestone: 51% of all electricity produced in the Netherlands last year was from renewables! In 2015, it was only ~12%.
Nuclear's share last year was 3%, leaving 46% for fossil generation (mostly gas).

Why nuclear power plant are so expensive, especially in the West
An explanation for a lot of the reason for nuclear power’s high costs can be found in the so-called ‘Baumol effect’.
