Electricity rates in Cape Cod, Massachusetts have reached $0.457 per kilowatt-hour, significantly higher than the U.S. national average of $0.136 per kWh and China's average of $0.089 per kWh. In response, a letter is being sent to the Governor and state legislators urging action on the issue. The letter highlights the disparity in electricity costs, pointing out that Quebec offers hydroelectric power at just $0.06 per kWh. However, transmission of this cheaper energy has been blocked for decades due to opposition from environmental and liberal groups. The situation underscores ongoing debates over energy policy and infrastructure development in the region.
