Yeah, it varies so much locally...
Here is a splendid calculator to easily calculate the differences both in cost and also in CO2 emissions for your particular location. The calculator includes the typical CO2 output for a coal powered electric plant.
The happy optimum is when both cost AND CO2 are minimized by the same choice.
