NJ is 14.44 KWHr, and SparkyAk siad Hydro is 'dirt cheap'?? What gives?
Where I live, I am on community owned hydro power and there is or was a suplus for generation. We pay about $0.09 per kWh. The more we use, the less per kWh we pay. There are other small communities that are on diesel generator and paying $0.50 to $0.75 per kWh. Fuel is $4.00 and higher per gallon. My girlfriend up in Fairbanks is paying $0.18 per wWh (coal). Over half of that is fuel surcharge. Juneau is paying $0.14 but asking for a 20% hike and an interim %20 hike on top of that (hydro). Two winters ago they had a avalanche take out their main transmission line and 5 towers. They spent six weeks on diesel and their rates skyrocketed to $0.55 per kilowatt. Hydro is dirt cheap in comparison
