I can't afford to heat my home any more because of a forced transition from affordable gas to expensive electricity, I'd rather not be forced to also no longer be able to afford to cook, thank you.
Funny thing is, I'm all for an eventual switch away from gas, it makes sense on every level, just not until it becomes something I can actually afford.
