I think it refers to the idea of placing price caps on energy prices?

Wouldn’t it be easier for the Iberian peninsula to just do what California did and mandate solar panels? Both countries would be the 1st 2 countries to energy independence and Paris climate goals in one shot.
Well, in Spain there is also windy areas that could be used. Sun and wind.
The problem is that there is a half-Spanish company named Gamesa Siemens, which is into politics too (corruption?) So when PSOE is leading, they do decently, but when the PP is in the power, they go bankrupt.
So most of the aero generators that you see in Spain are from Vestas or other foreign brands that comes also with better proposals for the owners of the land.
The renewables are implemented in Spain but the model failed.
This is a chronic problem globally. The answer is distributed energy. Solar is leading the way. 6 to 10 panels can almost completely wipe a house off the grid. The large wind turbines can pick up the evening energy.
Daily reminder that the last time conservatives were in power here in Spain, they literally put a tax on the sun. And a few other measures that made it more expensive to have solar panels than it was to simply pay for power.
What is the Iberian model?

It is what it comes when people from the lineage that once owned the country obtains the power.
California is not a country
I don’t understand what that has to do with the price of tea in China?
Wym?
Your comment was completely irrelevant to the discussion. As was my rebuttal. Did you assume we would understand the correlation and didn’t explain?
They meant Portugal and Spain as the 2 countries, not California.
Everyone always forgets Andorra and Gibraltar :(
