To get some ideas of where the cheapest electricity is look for the locations of aluminium smelters. Aluminium is almost vast amounts of solidified electricity, which is why we started recycling the stuff years before anything else - orders of magnitude in energy usage less to melt than to make from the oxide.

Et je vous invite à lire ceci :

While Google is promising to bring 100-200 employees to the region around The Dalles, two former aluminum smelters in the area employed 1,100. Now don’t get me wrong. A job at Google is probably a lot nicer than a job smelting aluminum. But if you’re one of the 1,000 or so local residents that once worked at the aluminum smelter but couldn’t land a job at Google, that doesn’t mean much.
