Sweden needs a better domestic pricing model for sure. One that doesn’t punish households (who has historically voted for responsible energy policies and therfore created a great surplus) so that energy producers can have super high margins.
Also, Germany really needs to get their shit together when it comes to fossil free energy. Not just rely on countries like France and Sweden to solve energy for them. However, German industry will probably be nuked as tariffs enter the world scene, so maybe the demand will go down.
You mean net exporting Energy to France because their shitty Nuclear Plants didn’t Work Last Winter because of Maintenance and Last Summer because it was too hot for them?
Net export does not matter here. What matters is that you have a stable system which does not rely on fossil fuels (which is the case for Germany). Germany has the shittiest energy system in western Europe. Destroying the country and the planet because some weed smoking fucktard had “intuitions” about nuclear.
It does not matter because the German production, grid and export is completely dependent on coal, gas, and even cheaper imports. And there is no serious plan to get rid of that dependence. Sure, French nuclear was down so they had to import. But that is a consequence of too few reactors. One should have enough nuclear so that one have redundancy for unplanned shutdowns and maintenance. They for sure understood that back in the day. Also, the French exception is German normal. It really isn’t a fair comparison. And that’s pretty much my point.
The new Reactors in France surely produce a Lot of Cheap Energy. Sure the construction alone was only 6x more expensive than planned, but I’m sure it’s still a bargain at 20 Billion Euros

Yes the French Electric System would have collapsed without German Exports Last year (the French Heat with Electricity). It does matter
