In upstate NY 53% of my energy comes from natural gas and 29% from nuclear. To replace all my gas appliances and vehicles would cost about $130,000 or $10,000 per year for the next 13 years. Our family income is $43,000 per year and will drop by $10,000 when my wife retires in two years. I am a big fan of continuous improvement while trained in engineering economics. When the temperature drops to zero, air heat pumps and batteries do not function well. Wrong assumptions produce serious losses.
