Am I missing something about electric heat at $400-$480 a month? Not seeing it.
probably not.. you have to look at the entire year.. My electric bill is not $400 each month for a year.. In the end though I dont think there is any way that you can use electric heat and say it is anything but expensive..

I dont even know if anyone is actually debating that..

There was a time in the late 70's when houses were installing electric heat like when my house was built..

I am not even sure on the reasoning of this... I would think if we say Oil climb to $5 or $7 a gallon we would see similiar increases in natural gas and then also electric... so I "think" anyways that given and option electric heat is just not a afordable option..
