Some states have vastly higher energy costs, tho, don't they? Bit weird to compare the whole US to selected European countries, which represent completely different energy strategies and subsidy policies, while also being heavily affected by the war in Ukraine.

Yeah, new england for example has high energy costs because of 1) a lack of local energy sources and 2) reluctance to build new gas pipelines.

> selected European countries

The two largest in the EU by population (20% and 15%) and GDP (24% and 16%).

		Well, yes, then compare them to California and Texas not some mix of flyover states. I mean, what’s the point anyway? Taxes, subsidies, natural resources, industry and geography are so vastly different between those countries.

It's $0.11 kWh here and we have plenty of renewables and a growing population. OTOH I have city owned utilities and not a public company.
