Interesting graphic. Ontario has high hydro (or electricity...) costs in a Canadian context but doesn't necessarily seem to be the case worldwide. Although there are a lot of extra factors in the bill other than the rate. I have heard it's a lot more expensive in New York state though.

Australia was a shocking one to me - I knew it was mostly coal but didn't know emissions were that high. Sparse population density probably helps with pollution. Cooling towers from coal plants seemed to be a ubiquitous sight in South Africa - they were all over Gauteng province. They're on a big building kick now after realizing that there was not enough power capacity taking into account both population growth and the electrification of rural areas, townships and informal settlements that were ignored under apartheid. Even wealthy areas had scheduled rolling blackouts (called load shedding) for years.
