We are sick of the arseholes that are running the power companies, and we are sick of the outrageous prices they are charging for electricity.
Simple as that.
10 years ago, my gas bill was $80 a month. Today (and nothing has changed) it is almost $300 a month. Same shit has happened with Electricity and water. They are fucking scum.
They can go fuck themselves. If there was a free version of gas like electricity, I would install it in an instant. (I only use gas for kitchen hob, my BBQ outside - both of which get fuck all use, and my hot water which only really gets used when I wash my balls in the morning.) 300% price hike in 10 years… They can all suck my balls,
I prefer cooking on gas (I’m old! so what!), yes I know induction has become a lot better lately. But I renovated my kitchen (myself) about 5 years ago, so nothing is changing in there. My BBQ will also stay gas, but I might switch back to LPG bottles from the servo instead of natural gas.
My gas hot water is where the most of that bill comes from (our country has limited “fees” unlike other countries, and they have to detail all of them, and they get railed if they are bullshit). I am already getting quotes for instant on, electric hot water.
For 6 months of the year my Solar Panels absolutely rock, providing 30A 240V during the day, which means my entire home is grid free powered, even with my reverse cycle AC on full blast during Australia’s hottest times.
Solar Panels literally dropped my monthly electricity bill from $600+ per month, to $250 per month (for 6 months) the other 6 months are not so dramatic, but still they help.
You could save money on gas by not washing your balls every morning, seeing as you’re planning on getting the energy company execs to suck them anyway.
Yup it’s the same here in Germany where more and more households have been taking energy production into their own hands. Soon energy companies will only be in charge of distribution and storage, but I doubt this will make things much cheaper for long unless we cut private companies out of the process completely.
Some countries (like Sweden) don’t use gas at all for home heating or cooking. We went fully electric in the 70s when we built up our nuclear reactor fleet (sadly, some of now have been closed due to the “nukes are bad” crowd) and that helps a lot now when it comes to relying on renewables.

Sounds like you should be in the market for an electric boiler and induction cooktop.
Seriously… If he’s spending ~3k a year on gas and even half of that is cooking, an induction stove would pay for itself within a few years.
Same for the water heater. The fossil fuel industry didn’t spend decades promoting gas because it was the most efficient option.
