“Net” doesn’t really matter when there are large periods of time like the present where the population is burning firewood and coal to meet their energy needs.

“Net” doesn’t really matter when there are large periods of time like the present where the population is burning firewood and coal to meet their energy needs. Very little documentation about that and much of it is labeled “green” under “biomass” which is very convenient.

Close to Denmark, who lead that ranking. Japan has to pay about half as much. https://www.globalpetrolprices.com/electricity_prices/ https://www.globalpetrolprices.com/electricity_prices/

The vice chancellor Habeck as gone on record to fanatically oppose nuclear when his countrymen(and women) are suffering through his idiotic stance made years ago. Have a fuckton of non carbon electricity and then, sitting in that position of luxury, take the risk of further cleaning anything up you think is dangerous. Its very very very dumb to deny your citizenry near unlimited energy in this day and age , as an advanced country for cheap.
