of course gas prices are ‘volatile’ compared to electric. one is hardly regulated, is based on the whims of the wealthy and producers, affected by regional ‘issues’ on the other side of the planet… while the other is regulated in most parts of the u.s.

my per kwh rate has rarely strayed more than a half cent higher or lower than it was in 2000 and is nearly the same now as it was then (public utility and hydro). meanwhile, gas prices the last 20 years look like a sharpie scribble.
