We have to buy a new water heater. Electric models are not as economical to operate as gas models, but I’m wondering what will happen to the price of natural gas over the next 10-20 years. It is becoming more scarce and expensive, just as oil is. Also, it seems to me that there will be huge breakthroughs in solar over that time period, such that we’ll end up generating our own electricity with photovoltaics on the roof well within the lifetime of our water heater. Should that happen, we’ll end up with free hot water. We don’t want to get solar hot water panels on the roof, because they’re expensive and we probably don’t have a space large enough to hold a storage tank. Any opinions? Buy Gas. You'll replace your hot water heater at least a few times before electric will be more economical. **************Biggest Grammy Award surprises of all time on AOL Music.
