    No dummy, you’re missing a decimal point. California only pays 19 CENTS per kwh.

    And if conservative Texas is so great how come they pay 20% more per kwh for electricity than deep blue Washington State?

    Everything’s bigger in Texas, especially the idiots & excuses.

      Washington has hydroelectric sources. 67 percent of its power is from hydro sources. Wind and solar are a tiny portion of its energy mix. Even nuclear power exceeds its wind and solar energy sources. Texas has proven it can scale energy sources the fastest. Texas has the most renewable energy in the US. It has the most solar and wind energy of any state. Washington isn’t a top manufacturing state. It can’t handle the demand load and Texas has the highest energy demand because it is a top manufacturing state. When you are dealing with energy intensive manufacturing, costs add up, go ask the Germans. The Texas grid is just better.
