Re: Stupid people don't know they're stupid
French consumers pay 0.15euros/kwh (13p) and UK consumers pay 12p/kwh, base rates.
Cheaper to buy French energy than generate it in the UK. It's not as if people buy a couple of boxes of electricity while they're in the Calais supermarkets.
As for consumer (industry pays a bit less) prices: €0.25 KWh here in Jormany because we subsidise renewables so heavily and still burn dirty coal. Still, with power, as with computing, you pay for what you provision, not what you use.
