Hmph.  Don't bet on it.  Oregonians sure enjoy that cheap power...paid for
by the most-of-the-year rainy season, as most of the power is hydroelectric.
(sigh.  I even miss the rain...)

New York City and San Diego, are, as I recall, the two most expensive places
in the continental U.S. w.r.t electric power.  In 1986, San Diego was 11.3
cents per kwh.  (Toronto is about 10.3 cents Canadian per kwh, at least on
my current bill).

Anyhow, this is straying a bit from the topic.  Is there any place with
cheaper electric bills than Oregon?
