260 Euros in Germany. And this heat also has to be moved out

Well that’s on you for living in the failed state of Germany, where power is 3-4x as expensive as it is in sensible countries like the US.

It's frustrating when a comment is both needlessly belligerent flamebait AND wrong about electricity prices in the US. I guess that's what makes effective flamebait

German electricity prices are around €0.38/kwh based on my quick googling which is roughly $0.44/kwh. I pay $0.12-0.13/kwh in the US so I’m at least right factually up to rounding.

Wrong. I pay €0,23/kWh, so do your homework.

What exactly is failing in Germany, and why is it important in this context?

They have failed to have a sensible industrial and energy policy, leading to around net 0 GDP growth since 2019. I’m sure for the degrowth elites though this is not a failure it is working as intended.
