You don't mention that the rural people in place like Maine have high electric bills because of the proximity to the cities further south. It was .19 when I left Maine.
Just because they could....

Your ignoring the large percentage of rate change in trying to make your point. Plus, the cost of living is irrelevant to having "consistent" electric rates.BigBarney wrote: ↑Fri. May. 11, 2018 9:21 pmI never saw that chart before and shows how consistently NY City area is
above average in all costs ." Compared to the rest of the country, New
York's cost of living is 80.00% Higher than the U.S. average."

The last chart is interesting in that electric is the same price in 2018 as in
was in January 2017 so there was no increase . So in real $ you now pay less
than 1960 cost of $0.14 KWHr . Most of the price change was in the delivery
charge not the generation cost . Your rate went up 1.7% a year .
I have lived in WNY since 1980.

And, you might think it's consistent, but many living there don't. An increase of about 50% just in the 12 years I owned my house there, and closer to 100% by now, is not what I ( and many others) would consider "consistent". It out did inflation and cost of power plant fuels by a lot.
And 1.2 million for a house might seem "reasonable" to your wallet, but it's far outside the reach of almost all Americans.
Pushing for $75K cars and $1.2 million as reasonable for a house, I'm gonna take a wild guess that your ones who lives in the 1% bubble.

You need to check the price of electricity in Japan to see if
coal power plants can be affordable .

Electricity is ~ 80% more expensive in Japan .

The cost at the time of electricity in Japan has nothing to do with the fact that they are moving to coal....They would have to live underground to have enough acreage to produce with solar and wind.....why do you think they use Nuclear???? Bottom line....it can't be done yet with magic in a small country like Japan but you think we are going that way shortly???? The delusion continues.
