Doesn't Germany have the highest electricity prices in Europe?


No, because there are 81 million people in Germany, and half of
them use solar power. People with solar panels don't pay anything
for electricity, instead... the power company pays them. It's called
net metering. So you have to average the 40 million who get paid, in
with the other 40 million. The panel installations are part of the
home's equity and are transferable cash value.


"German consumers already pay the highest electricity prices in Europe."

It's all mute anyway, because fossil fuels are responsible for the
acidification which is destroying the worlds coral reefs now at an
accelerated pace, among other proven mass extinction events.


Yeah, sure.
