If they gave me an incentive that would be nice. As it stands, gas is cheaper than electric where we are at in California. It would take a huge amount of money for us to switch but I would like to.

You're also completely at the whims of your power company for your heating/cooling needs. Here in Australia they privatised the electricity companies and our power bills are astronomical unless you are one of the fortunate few who own their own house and can install solar.

America's basically never had public utilities to begin with. If you're not at the whims of the electric company, you're at the whims of the gas company. Which is sometimes the same one.
