In the more southern states is electric heat typically used? Where it's colder we typically have natural gas so no additional drain on the power grid to warrant rolling blackouts like California needs during heat waves due to increased A/C use.
Yes we have electric heat. Our water-heater runs on gas. We just don't typically need as much heat down here, so it's rarely an issue. I'm in TX, and we are having rolling blackouts. I heard that a lot of it is because our wind turbines can't run. We are the 5th largest producer of wind energy in the world.
In TN, where we have TVA, gas lines are just now being laid...you know.... cause TVA didn't slow that down. My house is all electric. Prob looking at a $500 electric bill this month no doubt

Gotcha, good luck with the winter weather.

Welcome to Alaska.
Electric heating is extremely expensive, so I would guess that only warmer states would use it since they don't get cold very often
