Sweden’s Deputy Prime Minister Ebba Busch voiced frustration over Germany’s decision to dismantle its nuclear power plants, which has driven up energy prices in Sweden, particularly in the southern regions. The cold weather, lack of wind, and the need to send electricity to Germany via undersea cables have created record-high energy prices. In southern Sweden, prices are nearly 200 times higher than in the north, making basic activities, like a 10-minute shower, cost around USD 5 during today’s price spike.
