📛Ayer TIRAMOS ENERGÍA RENOVABLE equivalente al consumo de más de 😱10 MILLONES DE HOGARES😱

En esta gráfica que hago todos los días hay mucha información. Se la voy a explicar detalladamente en un hilo y, si les gusta (den ustedes like), la publico todos los días.

¿Cuánta energía renovable tiramos cada día?

Ayer tuvimos que sacar del mercado 52,6 GWh de eólica y 39,2 GWh de solar para asegurar el sistema eléctrico (equivale a casi 4 reactores nucleares).

Y tuvimos que meter 78,7 GWh de gas para no tener otro apagón.

🇪🇸 Spain's population has reached a new high of 49,570,725 as of January 1, 2026, up 442,428 from last year.

For the first time ever, more than 10 million people, exactly 10,004,581, living in Spain were born abroad, making up one in five residents and offsetting a drop in births among those born in Spain.

The Dutch government is destroying long term compounding by introducing a 36% tax on unrealized gains.

As a Dutch citizen and long term investor, I’m at a loss for words about the lack of vision behind this new tax. I normally don’t post anything politically related, but what our government is planning to do is disastrous for long term investors.

This is the sad truth.

Most people here start investing to protect themselves against inflation and ever rising pension ages. They’re trying to put hard earned money to work, hoping they can retire before the age of 71. And they had a real shot at that before this bill.

If you started at 25 with €10,000 and contributed €1,000 every month, you could compound to €3,320,000 over 40 years. If you lived prudently, you could retire early and live off it for the rest of your life.

With the new capital tax? After 40 years of compounding, you’d end up at €1,885,000. That’s a €1,435,000 difference.

This tax denies generations the chance of early retirement, punishes those who take risks, and introduces severe liquidity issues for people who have been compounding successfully for years. And to what end? To fill a €2.4 billion tax hole.

I’m beyond words.

If you’re Dutch like me, please share this visual with fellow investors to increase awareness.

Hopefully we can make our politicians understand the severity of this tax, and the breadth and depth of its destructive implications.

The Netherlands was forced into taxing unrealized gains.

Their Supreme Court struck down the old Box 3 system in 2021. The previous framework assumed a fictional rate of return on your assets and taxed you on profits you never actually made. The court ruled it unconstitutional. That left a €2.3 billion annual hole in the Dutch treasury and no legal way to tax investment returns at all.

So parliament passed the replacement with 93 votes (needed 75). Multiple parties that voted yes publicly said taxing unrealized gains was not their preferred approach. They backed it because the alternative was collecting zero on investment returns indefinitely while refunding €1.2 billion in overpaid taxes from the old illegal system.

The math on what happens next is predictable. France ran this experiment for 20 years. Between 1988 and 2007, an estimated €200 billion in capital fled the country. 60,000 millionaires left between 2000 and 2017. The wealth tax cost France roughly €7 billion in annual fiscal shortfall, about twice what it actually collected. Macron killed it in 2018.

The Netherlands just approved something far more aggressive. France taxed total wealth at progressive rates starting around 0.5%. The Dutch version taxes annual paper gains at a flat 36%. Your portfolio goes up €100,000 on paper, you owe €36,000 in cash. You haven’t sold a single share. The government acknowledged this liquidity problem directly, which is why they exempted real estate and startup shares. Stocks, bonds, and crypto get no such protection.

The bill still needs Senate approval. Implementation targets 2028. But the EU has free movement of capital and people. Portugal, Malta, and Cyprus are a short flight away.

This matters for the US because unrealized gains taxation keeps surfacing in American policy proposals. California has a wealth tax ballot initiative that’s already triggered an estimated $2 trillion in capital flight threats. The Biden administration proposed taxing unrealized gains above $100M. The Netherlands is about to become the first country to broadly implement one at scale.

France spent 20 years proving the model fails. The Netherlands is about to rerun the experiment at 36%.

Este tuit del gobierno de España ha llegado a toda Europa y están que trinan con razón.

¿Por qué el gobierno haría una "guía" para ayudar a criminales extranjeros a conseguir papeles?

Una cosa es traer inmigrantes y otra muy diferente es AYUDAR a criminales inmigrantes a que consigan papeles.

¿No es precisamente la labor originaria del Estado EVITAR el crimen?, ¿por qué hacen todo lo posible por traer y regularizar criminales?

En el resto del mundo empiezan a entender lo mucho que odian a España los que hoy la gobiernan. ¿Cuándo lo vamos a entender nosotros?

En algún momento miraremos hacia atrás y pensaremos: ¿cómo pudimos permitir a esta gente gobernar España tanto tiempo?
