(CNSNews.com) - For the first time ever, the average price for a kilowatthour (KWH) of electricity in the United States has broken through the 14-cent mark, climbing to a record 14.3 cents in June, according to data released last week by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Before this June, the highest the average price for a KWH had ever gone was 13.7 cents, the level it hit in June, July, August and September of last year.
The 14.3-cents average price for a KWH recorded this June is about 4.4 percent higher than that previous record.

King Obama's plan....
oh, surprise us with some good news.
This is true of most of my required bills. For this reason I have had to tighten my belt and cut off anything not needed for my family to survive. We all use electric so the only way one could not be aware is they are not the bill payer.
"So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can; it's just that it will bankrupt them because they're going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that's being emitted."
Thanks, Obama. We have plenty of coal, and modern plants are cleaner than ever. But we cant use them here.
Obama shuts down over 200 coal plants y u ask to bring up electric bills and help wipe out the middle class and continue to wipe out America .
Part of OBAMAS plan next is $7 gas.
