Thanks to the Energiewende (transition to green energies), which is tantamount to a vegan energy diet, Germany’s electricity prices have soared 27% over the past decade to become the most expensive in Europe, if not the world, according to the STROM-REPORT.

Taxes, surcharges and a catalogue of other fees make up 53.6% of Germany’s electricity price, only Denmark has a higher share at 67.8%. Only five European countries have seen electricity prices drop over the last 10 years.

Soaring prices in Latvia and Great Britain

No country has seen electricity rates rise more than in Latvia and Great Britain, where the price has risen a whopping 55% and 46% respectively over the past 10 years.

Kermit said it a long time ago, It's not easy being green..........................or cheap.

Energy is the life blood of the modern world.

It is in everything we produce. Making it more expensive makes everything produced in those countries more expensive and lowers everyone's standard of living as a result.

So if you want people to have better lives, the drive ought to be to lower the cost of energy, not increase it.
