This general view shows a residential area in the village of Moerdijk, some 20kms south of Rotterdam on June 22, 2026. Moerdijk is a port village of 1,150 inhabitants in the south of the country, ideally located between the gigantic ports of Rotterdam and Antwerp in Belgium. It sits exactly where the Dutch government has chosen to build an area designed to receive electricity from offshore wind farms and make the country's port industry, one of the densest in Europe, more sustainable. The village, which has existed since the Middle Ages, could pay the price and be wiped off the map. Around a small school, a football club and a snack bar, flags reading "Moerdijk must stay" adorn many houses. (Photo by Jeffrey Groeneweg / ANP / AFP via Getty Images) / Netherlands OUT
