That raises a question - where is the cheapest electricity available,
worldwide? Is anything close to or less than 5 cents / kw-hr
available?

Converted to US$ (of course it depends on exchange rate but as of
today):

Malaysia nationwide:
0.0626 cents /kWh up to 200 kWh
0.0830 cents /kWh for the next 800kWh
0.0896 cents /kWh for the remainder

looks like you guys have it better than me.

Maybe electricity-wise, but isn't Malaysia one of those tropical
paradises where the women run around naked? >:->

Thanks!

It's a Muslim-majority country so the Malay ladies in penninsular
Malaysia tend to dress fairly conservatively, but colorfully. The
Chinese minority dress similar to the Chinese minority elsewhere in SE
Asia (typically long hair, not covered). In island Malaysia you might
run into that sort of thing among the Iban or other erstwhile
"headhunter" tribes deep in the jungle, but I've been well into that
country without seeing much thatlooked as you describe, even in
longhouses at the Tuak (rice wine) festival time. I've heard some
westerners in search of a simpler life have happily disappeared into
the kampongs.
