Also note the highly unrealistic 11¢/kWH (which is essentially unattainable,

They were probably using the US Total All Sectors figure from this page:

Thanks for finding that.

Oh, to live in Louisiana, at less than 10¢/kWH.

California is listed at double that, at 19¢/kWH, but even that must be some
kind of wacko average as we pay a tiered system, where, in practice, the
first tier is used up in the first week of the month, the second tier by the
third week, and the next tier for the end of the month.

It goes up precipitously with each tier, and the tiers are the same for
everyone, so they do NOT take into account anything specific like the number
of bedrooms or bathrooms or square feet or even the number of people.
