That's a fuel cost only. You have to build, finance, and maintain a powerplant to burn the gas, a transmission and distribution system to get the electricity to your house, pay for overhead, etc. Also, as a residential customer, you're locked in, unlike many large industrial customers, so you don't exactly get the best rate.

Yes, but Boot Hill is saying that the plant cost is only 10% of the fuel cost. That brings it up to 3.7 cents a kilowatt-hour. Still along way from 12+ cents a kilowatt-hour.

My real point is that I believe natural gas costs today are much higher than Boot Hill's calculations show.
