Right now the average price of energy in the USA is 16.1 c/kWh, so for this market to resolve "Yes", the cost of electricity would need to be below 1.61 c/kWh adjusted for inflation back to 2024 dollars.
Planning to use this site as the authority for resolution, provided it still exists in 10 years.
