>
> According to a media report, Germany’s leading economists are calling on the German government to permanently reduce high energy prices. “The determined expansion of renewable energies is right, but it is not enough. Germany should take a broader stance. This includes a return to nuclear power, research into new energies such as fusion power and domestic shale gas production,” wrote Clemens Fuest, president of the Ifo Institute, according to an advance report in the Welt am Sonntag newspaper.

> In the article, economist Veronika Grimm advocates the import of large quantities of hydrogen in addition to the expansion of renewable energies in order to offer the industry a perspective. Furthermore, the electricity tax should fall to the European minimum rate and the grid fees should be reformed.

>
> Michael Hüther, the director of the Institute of the German Economy, is calling for an industrial electricity price for Germany as a business location, according to a preliminary report. “The discrepancy between entrepreneurial investments that are necessary today and the provision of cheap electricity only in the future endangers the industrial basis of our national economy,” Hüther said in the “Welt am Sonntag” newspaper.

> Scholz reiterated his skepticism about the introduction of a subsidized industrial electricity price. “Of course (the) proposal of who to give money to is made easier than the proposal of where it should come from,” Scholz said in an interview with “Deutschlandfunk.”

Ok fine. But this means that solar and wind energy need to deliver heaps more. Plus insane amount of batteries.
Or they will outsource energy to other EU members until solar and wind catch up?
