Well that’s on you for living in the failed state of Germany, where power is 3-4x as expensive as it is in sensible countries like the US.

It's frustrating when a comment is both needlessly belligerent flamebait AND wrong about electricity prices in the US. I guess that's what makes effective flamebait
German electricity prices are around €0.38/kwh based on my quick googling which is roughly $0.44/kwh. I pay $0.12-0.13/kwh in the US so I’m at least right factually up to rounding.
Wrong. I pay €0,23/kWh, so do your homework.
What exactly is failing in Germany, and why is it important in this context?

You mean the USA right?
After all the USA produces tones of co2, ignores all responsibililties in the world since trump (defunding USAID) and lets not talk about income inequality?
But hey, im pretty sure your cheap energy prices will keep inflation low and living standards high.
Btw. China took over the industry products export 2018 and since 2024 chinese companies primarily buy chines made machines.
The main problem of germany is not energy, its def one topic, but its the market force of a country like china who is huge, has a ton of resources, less worker rights, high work attitude.
China is getting rich now from the same thing which made USA big in the 60is and kept germany high until now.
We are still the 3th biggest country by gdp.
Edit: And germany is so anti innovation its not funny anymore. Even the slow car makers started pushing EVs but then everyone else said "NOOOO". Heat pump? Industry said "yeah ready" and then everyone else "NOOOOO".
While this happend in Germany, in China EVs are normal already...
