Gee - whaddya know - that wind power doesn't always work - especially when it's not windy - and that solar doesn't work when the sun isn't shining

Who'da thunk it?

Almost all of Scotland's consumer electricity is wind generated. And costs less than in New York State.
And that's with decades worth of North Sea oil still unpumped.
But hey, OILigarchs wouldn't lie to you. As long as there's one drop or one lump left in the ground unsold, the USA is better off depending on centuries-old low tech power generating while the rest of the world researches and innovates their way into the future.

Granted I did not watch all of OP propaganda video, but my guess is there is noone (in position of power) in those countries suggesting to go back to fossil fuels. If I am wrong, please provide actual link instead of a video trying to spin other articles.

It is hillarious how you lefties call facts prpaganda, and then state propaganda as fact.

This demonstrates that it is difficult to add in non dispatchable sources of electricity without
a stable baseload of dispatchable electricity.
It sound like Norway and Sweden have electricity sales agreements with Germany,
and when the non dispatchable sources failed in Germany, the demand spiked.
This spike in demand from Germany, caused the Norway and Sweden electricity prices to spike.
