>If you compare German and French electricity prices, you will see that renewables are a long way from being cheap.
Don't they sell energy to each other, on account of being in the EU and having their grids connected?
I'd assume that's true given that one of the bigger reasons given for the higher energy prices in Sweden this winter, despite running our grid on cheap renewables and nuclear, has been that we've sold a lot of that cheap electricity to Germany.
