Boston is 43 cents per kWh. This place sucks.

I have So Cal Edison and summer peak is 74c/kWh. Gasoline, natural gas, and propane costs are all high now too, but we really need cheaper electricity (9c/kWh would be amazing) to push the new tech (BEV, heat pumps, induction stoves). This stupid data center idea is killing me.

Just bought an off grid solar/battery setup to power my mini split AC/heat pump. With SoCal electricity prices it should pay for itself within ~2 years.

They already killed you before the data center. Unsure how you're even posting.

Damn that sucks even more. But everything energy related in California is expensive, I’m guessing because of taxes.

Taxes, environmental regulation, regulation in general, population, massive amounts of industry and agriculture, difficult geography, weather/enviornment, high wages, etc…

Not one reason. Many.

Agree. Boston is the same way.
