In 2024-01-05 in #Lithuania we experienced hourly electricity prices above 1,5Eur for few hours.
Obviously, #FreeMarket #Capitalism failed, right? Let's se:
1. Denying electricity from Russia and Belarus is not free market.
2. Government monopoly on international power lines (and lack of) is not free market.
3. Subsidizing "unreliables" (sun & wind), restricting "CO2 emitting" and nuclear plants is not free market.
We need FREER market!
@Talkless I guess that /is/ a kind of reality and while I'd not like you to go without I am considering that is how it has to go else false economy (and planet with it) continues elsewhere while we leave things on etc...
Without reducing the negatives of 'money on everything' and 'free world for payers' the world at it's current iterating in everything to mess things (even things that work) would just end up holding out on people or reducing it's effective benefits... it's natural in the cycle of deliberately messing things and just not giving at all... :/
