That's a theory on which whole Energiewende project was based on. Seeing that now Germans have on of the most expensive electricity in the Europe, we can safely assume that cheap + renewable energy does not come together.

Germany's cost of generating electricity is very middle of the pack for Europe. Most of the variation is in different tax approaches.

Some countries get you to pay for every unit, incentivizing efficiency and other countries just nationalize failing Energy companies and add the cost to the general tax burden.

Nope thats not true.

We in germany suddenly stopped the investments for it and killed it.

But still articles are written on how this energiewende was pushing solar to much cheaper prices globally.
