"Carbon footprint".

Ok -- Empty out the North.

How about it? I get to move to Memphis, where I no longer need to heat my dwelling in the Winter.

I pay 11.3 cents per k/w for electricy

Natural gas costs 4.71 US/MMBtu

Now

1 MMBTU = 293.07107 kWh

So with ALL of this, electricity is 7 times more expensive than natural gas.

Now, it costs $125 or so per month to heat a house here - Using electricity, that would be $875. Per month.

Only 6.3% Natural Gas.

In a nutshell, I can't afford it. That's ok, I can just to Memphis for my retirement.
