Yes, of course. The German energy grid is one of the most incredibly (over) subsidized grid in the world. Incredibly low wholesale costs, incredibly high retail costs. The difference is the enormous amount of subsidies paid to green energy producers.
If there weren't subsides in play everyone would be going bankrupt.
- exabrial 9y agoThat's a damn shame. I'm "pro whatever is cheapest" energy, and theoretically, that should be renewables like solar and wind. In my opinion, subsidies hurt more than help after the R&D phase of deployment. It makes an investment into the technologies complicated and dependent on regulatory climate.
