As electricity becomes cleaner and less polluting, levelling the price for gas and electricity helps solve the climate crisis.
And, it increases the impact of policies like carbon pricing.
Choosing greener cleaner solutions needs to be the most cost effective choice for everyone.
Our review work at Citizens' Climate Europe suggests that beyond the policy mix Jan describes, strong welfare state and political trust (at least in decades past) were major factors.

The European Parliament ends the βscandal that wasnβtβ!β¨Today, MEPs made it clear: funding for NGOs under the EUβs LIFE programme is legal, transparent, and essential to a healthy democracy.
Sad to see the UK has not rejected the climate deniers yet.
May mean more Fossil Fuel industry funding is channelled to these grifters. Who I wonder is in charge of the setting the rules ? Do they have any obligation to defend democracy ?
Great questioning approach, I wrote the attached 2 pager a year ago with similar in mind. Happy to share data on experiments in Canada, Austria and Switzerland on making this type of approach stick over time.
Upcoming question of UK alignment on ETS with EU makes this quite topical.
