    California pays 19 dollars per kilowatt hour. Texas grid is better. Not only does Texas consume the most electricity, they do it at lower prices, comparable to poor states like New Mexico. Bidenomics subsidizes green energy at loss in the Texas grid.

      California pays 19 dollars per kilowatt hour.

      I think that you might be thinking cents, not dollars.

      Typical residential electricity prices in the US are two digits number of cents per dollar.

      Also, I’m pretty sure that California’s residential average price in 2025 is above $0.19/kWh. Maybe that’s the cost of generation alone or something.

      EDIT: This has PG&E’s residential pricing at about twice that, unless someone’s getting low-income assistance.

      They list their cost of generation there as being about $0.14/kWh.
