national average electricity cost? I ask because I spent some time this morning while composing the above analysis looking for the current commercial electricity rates in the LA area. I found a BUNCH of pages, from all sorts of sources, showing national averages and specific cities, but they varied all over the charts. I don't remember which site it was, but I think it was a DOE site, that gave the current national average price at $0.14/kWHr, which sounds fairly reasonable to me. We have very low rates here in Texas and I am paying 10-11 cents per kWHr. I'm just wondering where you got your price of 11 cents for the national average from? Thanks.
