Yes, electricity prices are political when you include disabling existing fission plants that are very cheap to operate (most of the cost comes from building them). Germany also has heavily subsidized renewable energy, but electricity prices are nonetheless so high that some major industry actually left the country.
- Certhas 3y agoSorry but bullshit. Electricity prices are made up of taxes, subsidies and everything in between. There is no causal relationship between high share of renewables and high electricity prices in Germany. If you have any argument or evidence that supports the causal link, please share. If not please acknowledge that you are operating on gut feeling without a factual basis. Wholesale prices for electricity have been higher in France than in Germany, they have been much lower in Sweden, which has more renewables than Germany in the system already.
