The most obvious solution to high power prices is a negotiated settlement in Ukraine and a lifting of sanctions on Russia - regardless of whether you like that or not for geopolitical or ideological reasons, that would bring power prices crashing down overnight. This would be a "solution" only in the short-term, as those geopolitical and ideological reasons include not giving Russia a strategic stranglehold over European politics via its control of the energy markets. Giving Russia the ability to control energy prices (via supply restrictions) is not a medium- or long-term solution to the problem. edit: formatting
