Especially right now for most people as natural gas is becoming the primary generation fuel of electricity, and other sources are having to compete so there isn't a lot of price variance as cost increases are relative to both electric and nat gas direct use. (of course you have to factor how your regional players tinker with their prices/service charges)

It is nice though to have the instant volcano like heat in mass that you can only get from burning fuel
