Nope, I do the math. In the case of nat gas, what kills your theoretical
savings is the monthly service charges for the many warm weather months
months when you are using hardly any gas, particularly here in TX where
the heating season is short.

If you're incurring monthly service charges because there are months in
which
you use hardly any gas, it's your own fault. Replace your electric dryer
with
a gas dryer. Replace your electric water heater with a gas water heater.
You'll be using more gas, obviously, but a whole lot less electricity.

Nope, a gas water heater and dryer will still use very little gas here,
and the electric ones I have use very little electricity. The monthly
service charge for gas service would still eclipse the gas useage.

Wrong. You obviously haven't ever lived with gas appliances; you clearly
don't
know *anything* about them.

Electricity use is predominantly A/C and refrigerator during the warm
weather months, the water heater and clothes dryer hardly have any
effect.

A gas water heater and clothes dryer certainly consume enough gas to avoid
minimum monthly service charges. Stop talking about things you know nothing
about.

Perhaps if you are one of those wacko religious nuts with 43 kids.

Nope, just two. We do wash our clothes and bathe regularly, however. YMMV.
