What's going on in S.Africa or the Sahara during Germany's winter?
You can swim to Gibralter from N.Africa.Why can't electrons? At $0.0244 / kW-h retail price,I'd be surprised if Germany would balk at purchasing power.The imported low sulfur US coal that they're burning for power costs a lot more.
I just don't see an issue.Unless you're a US coal exporter.
