What heck is going on in the Netherlands?

The same thing we’re going to see more and more in coming decades: Governments finally getting around to addressing ecological crises running right up against the assholes who’ve kept government from doing until there were crises that needed to be addressed.

In this case, the government decided that there needs to be a drastic reduction in nitrogen compound emissions and so have ordered a 30% reduction in the use of animal feeds that promote such and the usage of nitrogen-based fertilizers. The predictable response from farmers is that they can’t be as productive unless they can pollute freely and screaming that the government’s trying to ruin them.
