> Investing in alternatives has led to massive new industry that is improving the economy of those countries that do it > That's a baseless claim. For example, Germany has invested massively in solar but its electricity prices went up, not down. > This price of electricity is high because gas, which is still expensive, sets the price of electricity most of the time [1]. 1) Am I missing something or the link you provided contradicts your claim? On a chart #2 in the article you can see Germany has only 24% of the times price of electricity set by gas, 24% is not "most of the time", right? 2) Even if that is true, and electricity prices in Germany are set by the price of gas most of the time, it seems like you didn't address the point in a previous message. If the goal is to have lower prices and the goal(outcome) is what really matters not just the process and renewables is the path to get there then why Germany electricity prices rose at the end? And were not all of those because of this ... because of that ... supposed to be a part of that path(plan)? They did the thing, invested in solar, what have they missed and why?
