  • Does anyone actually believe that EU could just cut all imports from Russia? We (EU) have been heavily dependent on energy from Russia for a long time and shifting away from this not something done over night. The important thing is to look at how much Russian energy has been cut out of EU usage, and then we have to make sure that continues until we, hopefully, reach zero within not too long time.

    The fact that the EU is still importing some energy from Russia should not be a reason for others to start to import from Russia.







  • The Danish “electric heating” tax system works in a very low level way. A normal household is set to use around 4000 kWh of power for non-heating operation. Anything above that is just not taxed. This is the same for any form of electric heating, not just heat pumps. Also, January 2025 the government turned tax for electricity to the lowest that EU allows, so no special treatment for using more than 4000 kWh - now everything is with low tax. This deal was set to run for two years, so we will see if the old taxes come back at New Year.
