We pay a premium to our electric company so that they're buying energy from the windfarms to replace the electricity we're using. Natural gas is certainly getting pricey. Our gas bills are higher than our electric bills every month. But I'm not sure how easy it is to stop up the gas line to our dryer and switch to electric.
Either way, we're planning to buy a couple more clothes racks so we have room to dry a whole load with no dryer. Also gotta clear some floor space in the basement to make room for them, but if we start drying at least a load or two a week with no dryer at all that will help.
