Tbt. I imagine someone would have done it if there was profit to be made. It may drive a sick kind of tourism? I donno. But stopped it can be. Probably not worth it.

Coal is being dug in mines for profit all over. How deep is this burn? It has air. It scorches the earth..

Howso? Any documentation on that?

Anyhoot. The government has temporarily removed taxes while the extreme tarif for transport is being introduced. But the taxes will be added, and much higer, this summer.

Also, there is now a penalty for using electricity in peak hours.

According to https://www.bolius.dk/elpriser the avg. price right now is 2.86dkk or $0,40.

Edit:According to this https://www.globalpetrolprices.com/Denmark/electricity_prices/ denmark is by far the most expensive. Corporate greed?

And yet the population in denmark is looking at extreme taxes on power ($0,3/kwh for transport, and another $0,15/kwh because F you and then the price) and extreme taxes on already expensive meat ($15/pound + 30% F you tax)
