I bet the air conditioner isn't!

Besides, if you could buy an electric water heater that runs when electricity is mostly free, wouldn't you replace your gas heater? I would.

This is a good point, but would that ever actually happen? Or would it just be "free" electricity at first and later the electric boiler owners find out that a gas one would've been cheaper after all.

This winter natural gas prices are supposed to rise 30%.

You're taking some level of risk regardless of which choice you make or the government makes for you.
