Many petrol stations are already hooked up to gas-lines for heating.
ECONOMIST: What bigger estimates of America��s reserves could mean
Although electricity bills would fall, the price of gas (the most popular home-heating fuel) would rise.
For one thing, there's disagreement over how much it should cost for the Capitol Power Plant--which provides heating and cooling power to Congress--to use cleaner-burning natural gas instead of coal power.
In America, the energy index rose a whopping 3.8% in September as petrol, heating-oil and natural-gas prices all shot up.
McCain-Palin should declare they'll make the dollar strong again--which will bring down prices, especially on gas and heating oil.
The report insists that, in hand with a combination of energy efficiency and fuel-switching measures, this growth in electricity production would be enough to supplant all fossil fuel use (coal, gas and oil), including that for transport and space-heating.
Refining-capacity constraints will keep gas prices up at the pump and for heating oil.
Crawford-Brown tallies up their electricity bill, auto mileage and natural gas heating bill.
Households with oil-fired central heating, and those using solid fuel or liquid petroleum gas to heat their homes, are much more likely to be in fuel poverty than "on-grid" households.
Much of the avoided energy consumption will come from the switch to carbon-neutral district heating (rural households will switch from oil, natural gas, and electric heating to heat pumps and biomass burners).
FORBES: Project Zero: A Roadmap For Local Energy Security And Carbon Neutrality In Southern Denmark
This can be done by heating the gas (a thermal plasma) or passing an electric current through it (a non-thermal plasma).
