Default is electric heating likely to become cheaper than gas heating in future?

I'm wondering whether I should fork out for gas central heating in my new
house. However, I wonder if elctric heating will be cheaper than gas
heating after they build the new nuclear power stations. I think that's
what happened in France, isn't it?


You will be looking at a lead time of 10 to 15 years before any new
nuclear stations were to come on line and it will take many of them,
before they make any difference to the methods of generation. Costs
will not come down until their build has been more or less paid for, so
I would stick to gas and invest in good levels of insulation.
