Here's a comparison you won't enjoy:

Manitoba (Canada) has an electric rate of about $0.06 / kWh, and
something like 99% hydro power. (I think there's one coal plant in the
province.)

But you have to put up with mosquitoes in the summer and -40 (C/F -
doesn't matter) in the winter to get those rates...

TOTALLY worth it.   I don't go outside much anyway, and my computers keep the house uncomfortably warm in the dead of winter.

Peace...   Sridhar
