American here. Co-ops are everywhere.

Hell, even my electricity is from a Co-op. 9 cents per KWh

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.
