Propane is over $2 per gallon in rural Mississippi, down from 2.50 last winter. With only a gas hot water heater and part time use, the cost is pretty staggering compared to natural gas.
But, finally getting electric down to 11 cents from 16 cents, here in Houston due to deregulation and competition, now it has escalated to 16 cents in Miss., where we now spend a lot of time.
It is monopolized there.
Anna is SO correct, go green, go broke unless you and the equipment last at least 30 yrs. without repairs.
