What you are missing is the fact that the energy cost increases as it is converted to a more useable form. A pile of coal containing 1 kW-hr of energy is much less valuable than 1 kW-hr of electricity delivered to your house; it will take more than 2 kW-hr of "coal energy" to make 1 kW-hr of "electrical energy" after a very expensive conversion process. That is what you a paying for; energy delivered in a usable form.
