Neat.
I stopped reading at "California’s average residential electricity rate is 15.34 cents per kWh" and checked my electricity bill. Here in California, I'm paying 40.82 cents per kWh. The website https://www.electricitylocal.com/ https://www.electricitylocal.com/ seems wildly off.
Edit: I did read the entire article. Just stopped to check what I was paying.
- alchemist1e9 3y agoAt that rate how are there any data centers in California?
- kube-system 3y agoIndustrial and commercial users of power almost always get different pricing than residential rates in the US.
- alchemist1e9 3y agoDifferent yes but not 4x different. I know in Illinois standard generic commercial is around 9 cents and residential is like 12 cents.

- zamadatix 3y agoProbably just older data based on looking at the trends https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/APUS49E72610?amp%253bdata_tool=XGtable&output_view=data&include_graphs=true https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/APUS49E72610?amp%253bdata_to... and https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/APUS49A72610?amp%253bdata_tool=XGtable&output_view=data&include_graphs=true https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/APUS49A72610?amp%253bdata_to... That said, mentioning it is one thing (it makes the case for low power devices even stronger) but why stop reading anything after the first error you identify? That doesn't guarantee you only get accurate information it just guarantees you'll miss out on good information, like the cheap high speed connectivity the article is actually demonstrating.
