Comment on Price of electricity in Finland peaks at 2.35€/kWh today. Keeping my tiny granny cottage warm costs me over 50 euros for a single day. It's negative 25C (77F) outside.

  Finland is too much north to hope for efficient solar energy.

    In winter yeah but we have long ass days in the summer and even in early spring they work surprisingly well as solar panels are more efficient in cold temperatures.

  Last 12 months Finland had electricity 87% with low carbon sources and 43% with renewables (source: app.electricitymaps.com/zone/FI )

  During winter it stays pretty similar, because nuclear is 45%, wind 17%, hydro 17%, biomass 8% and solar is only 0.03%.

  Coal is only 8%, but produces 58% of all CO2, which shows how bad it is.
