How the UK became the first G7 country to phase out coal power (interactive.carbonbrief.org) 7 points by jgamman 1y ago ↗ HN
[–] nothercastle 1y ago ↗ And also killed all their industry and has the highest power cost in Europe. Mistakes were made… [–] thebruce87m 1y ago ↗ I’m trying to find sites to compare energy costs for the average home across the world but coming up short.I pay £230/month in Scotland (it’s colder up here so we will pay more to heat homes than people in e.g England).That includes all electricity (including 8k miles/year EV charging) and all (gas) heating. Is that expensive compared to Europe? [–] nothercastle 1y ago ↗ You need to use a common measurement so price per kilowatt. Actual heating costs are highly variable on climate, volume insulation and methods of heating [–] thebruce87m 1y ago ↗ I already know the price per kWh, but even that isn’t common as you have standing charges.I just want to get a feel for out-of-pocket energy costs.
