Make sense.

Production price in Europe is between 3.5-4.5cts/kwh averaged. The rest are mainly transport and taxes.

If the EU currently choose to exonerate industrial consummers from these taxes and offload them on citizen (which honestly make sense from a business perspective), they could currently beat most US states in term of pricing while providing lower carbon footprint/kWh
