  Versus France, Germany is only twice as dirty for only twice the price which seems like a pretty good deal if you ask me. IMO the policy has been a natitonal disaster for German, not only have prices increased without materially offsetting carbon, it has also made them much more dependent on Russian gas which increases the economic cost of standing up to Russian aggression in Ukraine and elsewhere. The promises of jobs from domestic production of panels also never quite panned out due to competition from Europe and installation/maintenance related jobs are likely offset by reduced competitiveness from electrical costs not to mention increased strategic dependence on China for components. Wind has been quite a bit better but locals are starting to push back from what I've been reading.
