Sure just saying, not trolling at all.

Solar drives energy prices down, not up. In the summer the energy price regularly goes negative because there is so much solar available.

And it isn't even remotely true, other countries have higher energy prices than Germany within the EU. The Netherlands for example has crazy high energy prices. And that's in absolute numbers, not even corrected for things like GDP.
