The production of biodiesel would be the least likely to impact the price of electricity. Biodiesel is not commonly used as a fuel source for electricity generation, so changes in its production would not significantly affect the overall supply and demand of electricity. On the other hand, the price of a barrel of oil, the cost of a ton of coal, and a fire in a gas pipeline could all impact the price of electricity, as these are commonly used fuel sources for electricity generation.
