> they are subsidising industry use of electricity with household usage

Germany had to do the same thing when their power costs threatened de-industrialisation. The base cost of electricity in Uruguay is higher than its neighbors’ in an environmentally-wonderful but economically-problematic way.

Germany made the worst possible mistake. They decided to decommission all their nuclear power in one year "for the environment"

Then they started importing all their energy from neighbouring countries including:

Nuclear power from France

Coal (!) power from Poland

Hydro from Sweden

Etc,etc.

The anti nuclear crowd in Germany fucked the environment to sate their delusional beliefs.

Electricity prices in Sweden tripled because of that and still haven't returned to normal.

Worst decision in the history of the German nation! (This statement is true, but only on a technicality: the current nation of Germany is young!)
