"Well no not just because. I really care about the environment but it is getting a bit exhausting. In Holland everyone has to move away from natural gas meaning everyone has to buy hugely expensive heat pumps and insulate their houses more to deal with the lower heat output." To be fair, they're heavily subsidized and many houses can do this for under 5k. And really, insulating the frankly awful housing stock isn't a bad thing. Disclaimer: I work for a heat pump company. In city centres you don't need an EV, you need a bike. (I have two little kids and live in a car-focused Dutch town before anyone tells me that's impossible) Also, as someone who has two little kids who will rub their hands all over glasses and then stick their fingers in their mouths, I'm delighted to see lead paint falling out of use.
