Totally agree, that is why Germany now has some of the lowest energy prices in the developed world, which greatly helps in keeping its industry competitive and maintain the viability of energy intensive manufacturing inside of Germany.

The electricity prices have done enormous harm to the German economy, the energy transitions is completely botched and has played a serious part in the persistent German recession.

The electricity prices are high and somewhat harmful. But no, I don't think the rest is true and I studies this in detail.

Let's go back to my original claim: The economy of scale brought PV prices down substantially. This is easy to verify. Agreed?

You get electricity at the same price in Japan and at half the price in the US. Message to the policy-maker: just be resource-rich. How exactly do you implement this?
