Anyway, yeah, electric heat is cheaper

Where? Not USA national average, nor the metropolitan areas of
NYC, Chicago or Philadelphia.

electric heat isn't cheaper anywhere.

Really? Here in Douglas County, WA our residential electric rate is
.0185 per KW hour. We have cold winters and hot summers. My home is
2400 Sq Ft and is total electric. My average bill is $52.00 per
month. Of course our Public Utility District owns its two hydro
dams, and sells the surplus electricity on the open market at
market prices.

0.0185 what per KWH? cents? dollars?


How do you get dollars from 0.0185 ? Doesn't the decimal point
indicate something?


How would you rationalize anything other than dollars
from 0.0185/KWH???


I don't need to rationalize simple math. If you have a problem understanding
the meaning of a decimal, feel free to ask a 5th grader.
