Gas is expensive because stable demand has been replaced by spikes based on renewable availability. I don't have any opportunity to get any renewable power - it's cold and there's no space for grid scale wind or solar.

This doesn't make any sense. Germany has storage for more than a season's worth of natural gas. The price went up because Russia stopped selling cheap gas to western Europe after its attack on Ukraine.

Myself I'm not affected by this. It's used too much as a counter argument, it's not universally applicable - even in Germany. The price spikes were happening before the war too.

Is that really an honest way to frame this?

		Yes, it's entirely honest.
