Surplus energy? Seems like if it was really that cheap high energy use commerce and industry would eventually move in. Weird though, most Europeans I talk to complain about extremely high energy prices and actually go out of their way to shut their computers/etc off and buy low value high efficiency computers. I suppose the utilities are not passing on the low rates.

I've read somewhere (but I can't find the source) that in Denmark and UK the prices do reflect the amount of wind (maybe also solar) energy.

That's right, and that's exactly why the article is lobbyist bullsh*t.
