The problem is that electricity costs so much more per unit of energy
than the alternatives that it can't be sold as an economic
alternative. Electric heat is 100% efficient. It simply costs more.

It doesn't cost more in all areas of the world.

In FACT, a natural gas fired, forced air furnace cost more to run than
straight electric heat last year.

horse****. try paying $.24/kw for electricity. lets see....we
burn natural gas to produce electricity.....and electricity is
cheaper? LOL too funny.


We're currently at $.052 /kwh up here.

Now just think of the savings they could have had with a heat pump!
