There's lots of places in the US that don't have natural gas infrastructure and do all heating electrically. The UK has a much higher population density so services like natural gas are more widely available, I'd guess with no evidence to back that up.
- londons_explore 2y agoIn the UK, places without natural gas almost all use oil for heating instead. A small chunk of buildings built in the 60's use electricity because we thought that would be cheap in a post-nuclear world. We were wrong.
- idiotsecant 2y agoIn the US there are lots of places where electricity is fact quite cheap like that. For example, in my county heating with propane doesn't even come close to making sense, due to the excess of cheap hydro power.
