One hell of a disparity between that and my parents paying ~$.18/kwh in rural Michigan.

Your rural parents don't make nearly the use of the physical wiring that cost so much to install. It shows in the rate.

That and slamming consumers is what the power companies do (here in New Zealand). See the commerce commission report (2009 - and there have been large price increases since) that found profits unreasonably high. http://www.comcom.govt.nz/dmsdocument/192

Also a kiwi here. Read the summary and it said the commission closed the investigation. Looks like every thing was legal, just the power companies maximising profits. Exactly what companies should do.
