I spent some time in a "Nordic region" and found they have cheaper electricity and source most of their electricity from things like hydroelectric/renewables which makes it economically and environmentally feasible for them. But they also walk and cycle alot, even in subzero temps, seen a few people pootling along @ -35degC...
In the UK we demonise cyclists, walking is for peasants, and any attempt to encourage us to use cheaper and healthier modes of transportation is a "woke liberal agenda" as opposed to a "patriotic" (we need to be fighting fit, right?) and fiscally responsible one.
