I think to a different energy need I have - heating - and how much substantially cheaper it is to heat my home with gas than electricity in Southern California.

I think to a different energy need I have - heating - and how much substantially cheaper it is to heat my home with gas than electricity in Southern California. That despite much of our energy being generated with natural gas, probably in a much more efficient way than my furnace does. The problem is how incredibly greedy California electric companies are. Hearing about PG&E’s and SDG&E’s profits is depressing. A serious proposal to lower electric costs in California could turn this state slightly less blue. That bad.

Assuming modern equipment and California weather, your gas furnace will be more efficient at gas to heat than a gas plant supplying electric resistive heat, but less efficient than a gas plant powering a heat pump.
