Could theoretically send wind power north when available, and send hydro south when it's not. Glad we are doing nukes though.

As more nuclear power plants are built, we will be building up expertise to make them safer. This AP1000 design already is much more inherently safe than Gen 1 or 2 reactors

But they get better price for their electricity, more profit for the plant, more taxes and thus the people benefit.

Yes, local electricity bill would go up but if the price is often extremely low, selling some for higher price is a net win. Ie this is why we have trade as concept in the first place.

Yes, the overall economy does better, but the local people might get higher electric bills but little other benefits, as the profit goes to the power plants. Usually increased tax revenue is less than the increased cost for the consumer.

Ironically, this is why the interconnects to mainland Europe that let (southern) Sweden sell its electricity at high prices when there is demand elsewhere are a good thing for everyone involved.

Not a good sign when right-wing governments are complaining about market based price signals and trade.

No, not everyone involved, everyone that can’t afford the bill in Southern Sweden, it is not good for them.

Just because Germany destroyed their electrical system it should not mean that companies in Sweden should go bankrupt. Germany tampered with the EU market, they ought to pay fines.

How is it good for the small local businesses who don't have a choice but shutting down?
