Maybe its because TX is ahead when it comes to renewable energy. Seriously, if you're in the NW, you have cheap hydro power. Not available here. Notice the two cheapest states - WY and WV - big coal producers. Not only do they have a lot of coal, it doesn't have to be shipped very far. neo.ne.gov The avg rate for TX in the link above is lower than the rates in the link I posted earlier, which probably means the earlier link was a little old. I expect drops in natural gas and coal prices have lowered costs recently.
