According to the BRI 80% of electric underfloor installations were in
public housing. During the Wilson Callaghan era there was a policy
of installing oil, gas and electricity in equal mixes in public
housing, the cheapest fuels were electricity and oil.

Gas has always been cheaper than electricity; in the past 40 years

anyway.

No it hasn't, oil has quite often been cheaper and in the 60's/70's


oil??


off peak electricity was cheaper at times.


I repeat: Gas has always been cheaper than electricity; in the past 40

Prior to notrh sea oil and gas, oil was often cheaper than gas.
