This is what you paid for your electricity.

My bill is itemized also. So from now on I will just quote the cost of generation and throw out all of the line fees, taxes, and service fees to report $0.03783. So I can feel happier about it. And mislead the discussion. Instead of the actual .1360 that I am really paying at the bottom of the bill.

$58.26/ 428 kWh = $0.1360

I see you're sticking to your incorrect accounting methods.
My marginal cost is $0.08/kWh. If I consume no electricity at all, my fixed cost is $12. What is $12 / 0 kWh? Try it on your calculator. You'll get an error because even the calculator knows this is nonsensical.
Accountants don't use fixed cost to calculate marginal cost, which is what we're talking about.
My sewer bill is $75 every 2 months. It isn't $1 per poop, 50 cents per shower, or 25 cents per clothes wash. It's a fixed cost that is unaffected by use.
The only way to accurately include my fixed cost in the marginal cost of my electricity is to assume an infinite energy use.
