~~Bullshit...you're not even the most expensive in the US. And for "planet reference" the average price ATM where i live (not US) is 40¢/kWh, and we're not even the most expensive...~~
Edit: misread California as Carolina...my bad
California, not Carolina. PG&E areas in NorCal can get up to 70¢/kWh during certain times of the day on certain rate plans. https://www.pge.com/assets/pge/docs/account/rate-plans/residential-electric-rate-plan-pricing.pdf
To reinforce this comment, the “certain times” that we pay 70¢/kWh here are literally all the times you need power, and those rates are scheduled to literally double within the next few years.
Also, gas appliances are now illegal so all cooking and water heating and home heating are at that electricity rate.
Aw shit i misread that...we have >1$/kWh in peak (which is between 5-9pm) too often here during winter.
Uuh...what does that have to do with electricity prices??
See? That's what drugs does to a motherfucker, no clue what's going on around him anymore.
Jokes aside, I'm also really curious what that has to do with electricity prices.
I'm guessing that answer was a reply to something else, because it makes absolutely no sense in this context.
