IMHO that depends entirely on how our electricity is created and distributed. Nuclear, coal/oil, hydro power best and probably cheapest given the right federal support. Let’s just see what the elections bring and what if any effect it has on our national strategy for power generation. You can forget windmill and solar farms - impractical and expensive to install and maintain.

Of course, should the cost of producing and distributing electricity comes down for whatever reason, some level of “control” may be needed if price increases cannot be justified beyond simple greed and a desire to increase profits.
