RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Trade group wants restrictions on U.S. natural gas exports How much is that electric furnace going to cost you to run on a windy cloudy day? You're better off investing in long johns amd toques!!!! Too bad the electricity is generated by natural gas fired plants....
what do you think is more efficient
A. Burning natural gas to make electricity, shooting the electricity all over on the grid, where you turn the electricity into heat.
B. Burning natural gas in your house in a high efficiency furnace.
Electrical transmission lines aren't very efficient. They lose a lot of power (watts) to the atmosphere due to heat.
the only green option currently available is the sit in the dark and freeze. Everything else is just arguing over who's farts smell worse, and the truth is they both stink.
