In Europe they were already at 30 to 40 cents, even before the liberation* of Ukraine began, thanks to Greta. Now they’re expecting it to rise to $1.00. The numbers they’re looking at are next to impossible for Americans to imagine, much less pay, but that is what you get if you shut down your own sources and rely on others...and then think you can ‘punish’ your suppliers.

Here is some info on German residential electrical prices—
Germany is one of the most expensive countries worldwide for electricity supply. In 2018, German customers were charged 0.33 U.S. dollars per kilowatt-hour. Although production is cheap, additional taxes and fees increase the final cost. The renewable surcharge is one of such additional fees hiking up end costs. In 2019, this surcharge made up 21 percent of the final composition of power prices for German households. This levy is to support Germany’s renewables expansion, such as wind, solar, biomass and hydropower installations.
