That advantage is steadily growing as more and more electricity generation comes from renewable sources. A recent report from the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) found that costs for renewable energy technologies fell to a record low last year, and that cost reductions are poised to continue into the next decade.

Ignore the planet killer IDIOTS who don't want you to use electric heat. OR, just tell them that destroying the biosphere by burning hydrocarbons is REALLY inefficient!
