I’d be paying that anyway for renewable power given the geography of my country, where nuclear is impossible (ABSOLUTELY impossible). If someone could cut the natural gas from our energy pie and give us clean electricity as a replacement we’d be grateful, given our limited space and relative lack of renewable resources.
And I’m paying that thanks to the German government who made us reliant on cheap and “clean” Soviet natural gas instead of making our own power with our own resources. But hey, shifting emissions to Siberia is easier!
Atomausstieg was plain stupid, agree. But legitimately. I have no idea how my country will survive decarbonisation. We’re a tropical island; we have money, but not much else with regard to resources anyway.
So you don’t mind paying 40 cents/kWh?

That would be if we had nuclear only.
Well, there is a push against nuclear and for renewables and prices are going up. Something something ccorrelation causation
Might have something to do with Corona and most fossil gas coming from russia, don’t you think?
And shutting down clean and safe nuclear power, yes. Why do you think we were so reliant on Soviet natural gas?
Aside that nuclear power is neither safe nor clean. Who do you think is the main supplier of Uran? It is… Russia!
Russia provides our Uranium because we chose them.
And nuclear isn’t safe since? https://www.statista.com/statistics/494425/death-rate-worldwide-by-energy-source/
