I switched my heating to electric, which I find costs me less than heating with oil since I can lower the heat in individual rooms. My state was powered by nuclear energy and is now powered by hydroelectric. If there were $5000 EV's available in the USA I'd buy one immediately. 60 mile range and 25mph max speed would handle 95% of my vehicle needs. I don't use propane for cooking or heating water any more either, switched both of those to electric (and I always hated having a huge gas bomb sitting next to the house). Eventually I'd like to switch most of the house to solar power, probably not for heat, but air conditioners can be run on solar. I've been playing with a few hundred watts of solar to see what it can do, may soon convert a room to run completely on solar. I've made some efforts to divest my 401k from oil based energy and encourage renewables. All my new yard care tools are electric/battery based. Electric is the future so start moving everything to it now.
