- badpun 4y agoNot at any price, there are certainly price points at which production just stops being profitable. There are already plenty of turned off fertilizer production plants in Europe, due to too high nat gas prices.
- rasz 4y agoOverpaying for gas makes it more expensive for everyone, so up to a point (import customs/excise/tariffs) you will always be more profitable than EU competition without huge government handouts (200B Euro).
