The cost is enormous for older houses. It's prohibitive for most people, thus my advocacy for incentives. We did a lot of the work as part of larger renovations, but I'd expect for most homes the cost to convert all the gas appliances to electric and bring everything up to code is at least $30-40k. If you're adding solar and home batteries to that, then even more. We're probably in >$100k gross, though we've taken advantage of probably $30k in incentives for solar and batteries. The batteries are the backup. Keeping gas service "just in case" comes with it's own risks in terms of leaks, and where I live, with major earthquakes. Disconnecting it means I don't have to worry about that, or pay the $4/mo minimum to keep it active. I believe this is the future we need if we're serious about eliminating CO2 emissions. It's not just power plants and cars - my house put out just as many emissions in the winter as my car did. Probably more. In a world where we're getting CO2 to zero there's no place for gas appliances. We need everyone to accept that, and it's going to take a while.
