At the Federation Congress I saw very enthusiastic speakers. I think entrepreneurs in technology enjoy that. The other guests were also very enthusiastic about the enthusiasm. Not in a tsjakka way, but simply from their own conviction. As far as I'm concerned, it doesn't matter how you present it, but that the people in a room recognize an authentic motivation.

It is, by the way, a character trait that is desirable in good times and bad. When demand from the market cannot be stopped, companies look for good people and desired suppliers. When demand stagnates, they look for clients. Without enthusiasm, it quickly comes to an end.
Ruud Veltenaar was so enthusiastic that he pointed out to the audience at the Federation Congress that we all have something to improve with regard to the climate. He combined this with information from experts, who can also provide solutions. His 'great talent for allergic reactions of people', as his father described it, goes hand in hand with great alertness.
If the future is mainly in an energy transition, then we still have work to do. Social acceptance was not very great when the results of the climate tables were announced. A large group also realizes that something has to be done.
In that respect I see Jan Terlouw as a great example. He can, speaking calmly and just sitting in a chair in front of a large audience, let enthusiasm seep out of very calm analyses. Not a pin to put between them. Suitable for people from the industry, climate alarmists and the 'ordinary' citizen.
The closing question from the audience was: 'Do we need climate change to make an energy transition happen?'
With enthusiasm we can take new paths and conquer new heights.
