Standard tariff electricity is 3-4 times the price of gas per kWh. But
as we build better insulated and better sealed homes that need a lot
less energy and as the price of gas c.h. servicing and repairs goes up
the TCO of electric heating may well become lower than for gas.

Given the huge reliance on of gas fired power generation that will
only happen if we go for nuclear generation in a big way and someone
makes a big breakthrough on waste disposal techniques.

There is another possibility and that is if someone manages to harness
