My friend lives in Guam. Their electric price is around 0.27 per kWh. I’m getting 0.46 - 0.50 per kWh with PGE.
How is it cheaper to send refined oil by tanker to a tiny island in the Pacific than it is to get electricity in a state with massive solar, wind installs and multiple refineries?
I’m guessing public ownership of the Guam utility is part of the answer.

    PG&E is evil. I can’t believe the state did absolutely nothing after they pretty much burnt half of butte county to a crisp, was a good opportunity for the state to take control of them.
