I laugh at those magazine ads that ask if your gas bill is really high,and tells you you can save money by getting an electric heater. Sure, you'll save $20-30 a month in gas, but you'll pay $70-100 more on your electric bill.

Yup, given the choice, I would rather have a gas water heater over my current electic one. They say it's more environmentally friendly with the electric, but at the end of the day, I'm probably paying $30-$50 more a month because of it.
I mean, really, how much more environmental is it? Last time I checked, Alberta still burns coal to generate the electricity.
