what on earth does electricity cost near you?

I agree (This Canuck wouldn't be happy, being judged by our gubmint's behaviour.)
Nor would this Canuck.

Even with all the years of trucking, the closest I've been to California is when my step-son balled a valley girl in the trailer of a bed bug hauler (household mover) in Oregon.

It's no joke if I posted online that I did some illegal burning. In the woodstove or outside burn piles. Even tho enforcement is all by complaint.

That said, I did 8 outside burn piles this winter so far, but I also paid the $200 tax to our local smoke-authority to do it legally.

This winter, with the rise in power company prices, my incremental cost is now 55c off-peak, and 60c peak. (winter rates lower than summer). Still using 11KWh/day.

Hard for outsiders to comprehend the high cost of California electricity and many times I was questioned when saying the cost of a kW is circling 50 cents.

The hospital buys in bulk and the price varies slightly month to month but last month 31 cents kW is the number.

Natural gas is also escalating...

Wood is verboten for many leaving only solar for the masses... but the changes made last year greatly increase payback to the point no longer viable.

Currently $0.32 per kw
Imagine paying $7.68 if you left 1 100 watt bulb on 24 hours!!
Massachusetts has passed into law that new 2024 construction requires a 400 amp service with no propane appliances!!
As usual lawmakers are passing laws without thinking about implications. Where’s this power coming from??

Yes its expensive at 32 cents / kWh, but you may want to double check your math?



Just saying...

Well, he was only off by a factor of 10. That's ball park for some of us.

It's not just that the goalposts keep moving on X, Y, or Z sources of energy... It's ALL forms of Energy that are the target.

If anyone wants deep insight into that ^, read Alex Epstein's book, Fossil Future.

Georgia and Georgia Power runs about 14 cents/kwh. I remember north Alabama having very low rates years ago. TVA generated.

That would be laser-accurate, for gubermint accounting, up here.....

About .15/kwh... That does not include all the additional fees and surcharges. That is just the rare per kwh.

Our all electric home and shop in central IN costs about $150-$180 per mo every month.
