Meanwhile over here in WV, we are saddled with above-market electricity rates thanks to our state (non-)regulatory commission and a desire to keep old coal-fired generators operating. It drives us nuts.

Could be worse. If you lived in California you'd pay triple the "above-market electricity rates" you currently pay.
Based on numbers here (https://www.electricchoice.com/electricity-prices-by-state/) it would be double, not triple.
The Non-PG&E areas pull the average down I guess. PG&E is more like 45-50 cents/kwh
Not if you have a municipal energy provider.
When you let industry run your government ...
This is sadly the state for a good number of PUCs across the nation. That's one reason that electricity costs are rising even as generation is getting cheaper thanks to renewables and storage.
