The average American pays 11.9 cents/kWh while in Hawaii some residents pay as much as 40 cents/kWh.  Hawaii is also the most petroleum dependent state in the country importing 46.3 million barrels of petroleum for Hawaii’s total energy use at a cost of $5.09 billion just last year. Most, if not all of those fossil fuels come from foreign sources.
