Electricity is 12 pence a kw. Heating accounts for 44% of all energy bills but thats due to poorer insulation in the average UK home. At the moment it is 32 celsius here (which is scorching!), winter dropped to minus 10C. When you consider that Sweden only has a 27% heating cost, but a much colder environment, it shows how far behind the UK is... the average energy bill is now over 10% of a household income, and set to rise sharply when the coal fired power stations get closed forever in 2015. In dollars, your looking at $1000 for one of these, but then you can get a twin core pma from missouri or south west windpower? for less, as you dont have to pay import duty.
