Recently, many places in Europe have also had high fevers.
Even britain, which has an oceanic climate, is boiling hot! There is a railway bridge in the south of London, and the sleepers spontaneously combusted due to high temperature and dryness, and the railway bridge suddenly caught fire, and all the trains in the nearby section were stopped.

The spot price of the European Electricity Exchange once soared by 400 euros /MWh, equivalent to 3-5 yuan / kWh, approaching a record high.
At the same time, in July, many places in China issued a series of red warnings of high temperatures, and the maximum temperature exceeded 40 °C.
The Central Meteorological Observatory continues to issue orange warnings of high temperatures, and the temperature in many places has exceeded the historical extremes in July! Among them, the hottest place in the country is Yanjin County, Zhaotong, Yunnan, and the maximum temperature has now reached 44 °C, breaking the record of the highest temperature since the establishment of the local meteorological observation station in 1959.
However, China's electricity price is still stable at 0.5-1 yuan electricity price, and there is basically no fluctuation. Of course, if you use a fuel vehicle, the owner is indeed very hard, but if you use an electric vehicle, the burden is indeed reduced a lot.
Everyone knows that the soaring price of electricity in Europe is because natural gas is an important power generation energy source in Europe, and the recent tight supply pattern is putting the european gas price at a relatively high level of about 160 euros / MWh, and the high price of natural gas has also exacerbated the pressure on European electricity prices.
The soaring price of electricity has led to an increase in all commodities, even for ordinary people in rich European countries
In fact, in the context of the Russo-Ukrainian war, the soaring price of electricity is also the soaring price of natural gas, which is caused by the immediate use of US sanctions against Russia. But Europe, fearing the United States and not daring to reconcile with Russia, has instead committed pink eye to China, where electricity prices are stable, saying that China's electricity prices are stable because China's abundant rains have caused China's hydropower to surge.
The Baihetan Hydropower Station is a printing press
According to Reuters, southern China's march-May precipitation hit a 60-year high, filling up the dam's storage capacity and boosting hydroelectric power generation in the first five months of the year by 18 percent year-on-year, and also helping the world's second-largest economy avoid the power shortages it experienced last year, when China's power shortage was partly due to drought affecting dam water levels. This year's flood season in southern China arrived two weeks earlier than in previous years, with average precipitation reaching its highest level since 1961.
Massive hydropower has also reduced China's demand for expensive LNG, helping to depress record highs after the ukraine's dangerous aircraft outbreak. In the first five months of this year, China's natural gas imports fell 20% year-on-year
In fact, there are not necessarily more hydropower than abundant rainwater, and there are very few countries in the world except China, which can convert large-scale water energy into electricity. The institutional advantages here are fundamental, the technical level is the guarantee, and the economic ability is the foundation.
Half of the world's top ten hydropower stations are Chinese
The upfront investment in large hydropower stations is enormous. Places rich in water energy are located in high mountains and valleys, which are sparsely populated and far from the city.
Investing in new hydropower stations, there are several major items that cannot be avoided: pre-resettlement, ecological and environmental protection investment, the early creation of commuter roads and production and living bases, the construction of new drainage nullahs, the interception of large rivers, the construction of dams, the construction of power plant civil engineering, equipment procurement and installation, supporting the construction of various types of substations and equipment procurement and installation, and the construction of transmission lines. Invest once, slowly return to the cost.
Misong hydropower has been shelved, and myanmar's recent electricity prices have risen sharply, and ordinary people are afraid to use electricity
The cost is small, really can't afford to play, the European foreign uncle really thinks that China's hydropower is really a gift from God? Myanmar's Myitsone Hydropower was forced to terminate because of the so-called environmental protection organizations in Europe and the United States, Myanmar is still a least developed country, while Laos withstood the pressure at the same time, hydropower exports to Singapore to earn foreign exchange, and applied to the United Nations to remove the hat of an underdeveloped country.
After Laos asked China to build a hydropower station, it not only used it itself, but also exported it to earn foreign exchange
For Europe, I don't think it's enough to blame God. And do not dare to offend the United States, but also ruthless Russia, it is better to find China to buy photovoltaic equipment to generate electricity, which is much more reliable than stopping the use of air conditioning and reducing the number of baths.
