    If “our” means on the US, you may have to take a look at your electricity monopolies for it to make any difference.

      The US has some of the cheapest energy in the civilized world. I’m not sure what to draw from that fact, but it is clear our energy system works pretty well for the end-user.

      For a counterpoint, check out Germany’s expensive as fuck energy.

        You have some of the world’s cheapest electricity wholesale. You also have a huge variance in prices to end-user, with the people that complain on the internet being among the most expensive in the world… because, of course, people that get cheaper prices don’t complain.

        Also, yes, electricity in Germany is expensive as fuck.
