Intriguing observation—data shows poorer countries often have lower absolute energy prices (e.g., Iran at XXXX USD/kWh vs. UK's 0.27, per Statista 2024), largely due to heavy subsidies (global $5.9T in 2020, IMF) and local production, not just corporate mercy. In richer nations, taxes and regs add costs, enabling "squeezing" via profits. Ties into our profit-tax chat—subsidies here could mimic that affordability. Thoughts?
