According to
http://www.eia.doe.gov/cneaf/electricity/epm/table5_6_a.html
Michigan is slightly below average.  Kentucky has 6.5 cents per kWH,
while New York is at 15 cents per kWH.

It would be interesting to peg the cost of electricity against the
cost of living.  I understand that canada's cost of living is lower
than the US, but I don't know if it's significant, or by how much. 
This could be one reason why electricity is cheaper (pay the workers
less)...

Obviously it's time to outsource our power needs.  We're already doing
it with oil, time to do it with electricity.
