Hypothetically.
If you used electricity as the only source of fuel in your house, could it compete with the general gas and electricity used by most. For example, if you used an electric boiler to supply wet underfloor heating, used lots of energy efficient lighting. Perhaps ran a solar panel and wind turbine, insulated your house etc, etc.
Could this be a) Cheaper, b) More energy efficient/greener?
Has anyone ever done any calculations?
