Tyler has a blind spot in his analysis. Total cost of living in a city includes property taxes even if water is charged for separately. In upstate NY, city taxes are sky high in large part to pension costs and it is possible that a similar issue is at work in Jackson. Water problems in Jackson, Mississippi

To put this in context, latest price I could find for an industrial user of electricity in New York state (not the cheapest in nation) was $76. For my costs it is about $96. I am assuming the figures quoted by Oilprice are for the power alone and do not included services and delivery charges. If I am wrong, France will still be paying more then six times for a megawatt compared to what I pay including all taxes and fees and what not that you pay in New York. In France, year-ahead power prices surged as much as 13% on Friday alone, to $1,003 (1,000 euro) per megawatt-hour for the first time ever, per Bloomberg’s estimates. French power prices have now soared tenfold over the past year.
