I think you've just described Germany, which has the highest electricity prices in the world.

The electricity prices in Germany are growing faster than the cost of electricity. It's a counter productive tax structure at work, not a failure of renewable energy.

Germany isn't an international embarrassment at the moment.

International embarrassment?

Didn’t Europe have a heat wave 5-10 years ago where tens of thousands died?

I’d be careful throwing stones about extreme weather if I lived in a glasshouse too.
