Renewables growth cut Spain’s electricity bills by 24.2% over the past two years

Spain and Portugal are 53% less exposed to gas price volatility than they were three years ago, according to a new report from Positive Money.

I hope somebody's keeping an eye out for the enshittification potentials in renewables, so that we can head those off when the Predator Class starts trying to enclose those commons. (I think I've seen some reports of those kinds of things already being tried, though not yet at national scale.)

Relatedly, I'm looking forward to the day when solar becomes bicycle-level back-yard tech that's essentially impossible to enclose.

In Germany, where people regularly complain about high electricity prices, experts are now panicking about *negative* electricity prices today because of a glut of solar and low demand due to the public holiday.

This shows two things:

1) Germany needs to ramp up flexible use and storage.

2) People in Germany tend to complain about everything rather than talk up the opportunities.
