But here are a few excerpts from the Louisville news paper:

Dude, NONE of your excerpts actual say what the ACTUAL cost of heating
with gas vs. electric is. All they are saying is that "gas went up".
How much? In market based systems, gas and electricity costs are
relaqted since to some degree btus (as used to generat electricity)
are fungible and when the cost of gas goes up so does the cost of
competing fuels.

But yes if you have some artificial government controlled arrangement
where your city gets preferential access to low marginal cost
hydroelectric power, then electric rates could be artificially low in
a particular area.
