I'm wondering whether I should fork out for gas central heating in my new

heating after they build the new nuclear power stations. I think that's
what happened in France, isn't it?

Not likely. Electric is 3x 4x as expensive and that gap will not be
closed for the lifetime of any current type of gas/electric system.

So why is it not economical to generate one's own domestic electrickery from
a small mains gas-fired generator.
