How much does crude oil cost per kWh?
There is no connection between the two. Crude oil is used to make fuels. kWh is a method to measure electric consumption.In today's world, with "green" technology the number of gallons of fuel oil per kWh is increasing dramatically. This is because fossil fuel plants now run to provide backup power for these green systems. This power is not used, but the fuel is still burned. Net result is more fuel consumption, not less. Green is not nearly green, compared to the old fossil fuels.
