That's an interesting forecast. Granted, all-electric living is the most trouble-free for the homeowner (your most recent experience excepted), but where are all those megawatts going to come from and at what price? Con Ed will also tell you that even if all that power was generated, NY metro doesn't have a distribution system that could bring it into the city.

If everyone would just put aside their irrational fears we could have nuclear power plants in the five boroughs or close off-shore. And we could easily save 30% of our demand through conventional and relatively-painless conservation. THAT would be heaven... in 25 years.
