I don't think you understand the cost of implementing such a solution.
"Free" (as in, your taxes) energy for all is very likely to entirely wreck the economy.
Not to mention there are costs involved with maintenance which make that energy not free. Even ignoring the huge debt incurred by implementing such a solution, who will pay for the maintenance? Our taxes again?
What are the benefits of not paying energy? What innovation is not happening because the pesky electricity has a cost?
Most likely it would just become the country of choice to run computations (whether meaningful research or pointless crypto mining) - if we ignore the gargantuan tax rate this country will have.
Being independent is valuable, that's why I think everybody should source their electricity independently (eg. solar)
