I read a month ago or such that Germany has drastically raised their utility rates in the last year or so, and that due to shutting down their nukes, they are going to have to raise it much more.
That’s what I have heard also from several different sources. They have to pay for replacement power and shutdown costs. I used to think the Germans were a very rational group of people, but now it has become very evident they are letting their inner emo take over just like everywhere else in the west.
