Like when you install ductless heat pumps or solar panels. Saves tons of energy and doesn't hurt lifestyle.

Fair, but "Denmark has the highest cost of X" is true for most X.
-
Yeah, but in this case, my understanding is that their costs are pretty directly linked to the amount of windpower.
-
One weird thing you notice in Denmark: no place has outlets where you can charge your devices.
-
Fun fact: Canada, which has some of world's cheapest electricity, has a higher % of its output from renewables than Denmark, most expensive
-
Being a low-population country with a lot of exploitable hydro is the fastest route to sustainability.

Only personal electricity prices and mainly because of taxes. Denmark is cheap pre-tax. Apple/facebook/google are building new server farms.
-
But some of those taxes do go to subsidising green energy. And some of them are just pigovian taxes on stuff that pollutes.
-
Yeah, my understanding is that the taxes subsidize the wind, which is super-expensive.
-
Hence the backtracking on the "50% by 2035" pledge.
-
Part of that expense is the intermittency, of course; as it goes up as % of grid, problems get way more expensive.
-
Even with Norwegian hydro pumping to soak up their overages and fill in the underages.
