Sweden to launch ‘exceptional’ measures amid 300% rise in electricity price (rt.com)

Electricity, gas, water, sewerage, internet: utility functions. Pricing here can be completely regulated easily. The input costs can't be constraint, true. But the cost/price dysfunction is really apparent here. The gas price hike isn't permanent and this is lost in noise against QE and MMT in a world of zero interest rates.

Being held to ransom by Russia over gas prices is insane. The swedes should reopen their nukes until they can Lease or build wind in the Baltic or tidal or whatever.
