Yes, but I for one welcome the volatile electricity price swings in the Nordics. Electricity cost was negative today in Denmark. Yay for renewable energy.
Despite attempts to artificially stabilize oil prices, volatility there does not spark quite the same joy. Marie Kondo would trash it in an instant.

You understand that not all people lives in denmark Here, in France, we have 12 times more people than denmark, the highest point is a bit higher than 171 meters and there is a lot of land not really close to the sea Point is : good for you, but your country' situation is an exception

Our environment-focused market-regulating taxes are also not altitude dependent. Fun fact, nuclear power has the lowest direct and indirect (e.g., cancer, pollution) death rate per Wh of any supply source - despite high-profile disasters - beating even wind power which while entirely harmless has a considerably higher deaths from accidents during construction and maintenance. The only negative aspect is high up-front construction cost, but that is a low price for the many human lives saved by reduced oil or coal pollution from the plants that were replaced where wind or solar is not an option.
