Do you know anyone that works in the energy sector

Yes.

like anyone that is an expert in maintaining the power grid and electricity

Yes

You do not

Oh, so that wasn't a question and you just wanted to speak some more about the symptoms of your brain rot. Well...

you don’t actually know how much things cost, especially in the winter!

Yeah, sure. Reality is lying, facts aren't real, economic figures are wrong... and the expensive energy sources are actually the cheap ones and one of the few countries actually highly autonomous with reserve capicities held back to supply themselves and several neighbours at the same time is suffering from an energy crisis.

Where have I heard that one before? Oh, yes... in the right-wing propaganda media that spend the last few years hallucinating about blackouts any moment nowβ„’. The same morons telling funny tales about Germany's total on French nuclear power when in reality less than 4% of the total power was imported, the vast majority in renewables from nordic countries. The same morons that ranted against heat pumps for years (because "who doesn't even understand how that magic is supposed to work" - paraphrasing but not really far from their actual coverage). The same morons that now loudly scream about EVs and how we really, really need to stick to combustion engines if we want to save the car industry (and civilisation!!)...

Guess I know where you get the shit you mistake for information.

    Okay. So why are prices up in Germany? Do you think people just raise prices for fun? You understand how supply and demand works? Or is that also a big lie?

    Mainly gas power plants getting more expensive due to the Iran war. The price is determined by the last power plant needed to fulfill demand, which usually is a gas power plant.

    You don't understand the electricity market at all.

    I understand Germany is in the top 5 most expensive electricity. Your industry is suffering from it and is now less competitive. As you watch your companies go bankrupt, keep defending loser policies.

    Look, you fucking moron, it's not the electricity that is bankrupting us. It's conservative, old-fashioned structures and bureaucracy. The very same crap Japan is facing. You really shouldn't argue about things you don't understand.

    My friend, you must learn about free market and supply and demand. You must learn about how communism killed millions in Russia and China. Europe is close to that. Just look at this summer. In the USA people don't die in the streets because of heat because the free market was able to solve the issue long ago. The free market saw that people were uncomfortable in the heat so they created air conditioning. The free market then protects people from the heat. And in Europe people don't think, the regulations don't allow you to be creative and innovative so people didn't install air conditioning because the regulations and socialism wouldn't allow you to have it. So now look at how many people die and look how many people will die next year and the year after that. The only way to save future Europeans is by free market capitalism principles. I will pray for you all. Hopefully one day you will stop your Communist ways that kills your own people because it's really sad.
