One nice reason about living in the Pacific Northwest:

Energy: All energy measured in kilowatt-hours at $0.031081 per kWh.
Delivery: All energy delivered in kilowatt-hours at $0.030981 per kWh.

Something like 80 or 90% of our power is hydroelectric here, so it's very cheap and not polluting. When the glaciers melt it might be a problem though.
