Old house, not very good insalation. We have had to fill the tank up 3 times, getting ready to have to do it again. It is 600.00 each time. So we will have spent 2400.00 just this winter in heat. I know our electric bill will go up, but we can handle a couple hundred dollar electric bill each month rather than a 600 every couple months... Our electric bill is only around 95.00 a month now..


Answer
Most HVAC contractors can tell you how many KW hours an all electric central heat system will use. Based on your current eclectic cost per KW hour, you should be able to estimate the cost for electrical heat. I think you will find it is much more than the propane.

I agree, you need to look at insulation and eliminating air infiltration at windows, doors and opening into the basement or attic and specially up the chimney if you have a fireplace.

why are ice caps melting around the world?

why are ice caps and ice sheets around the world melting?apart from global warmng, are there any other reasons? and what are the solutions for these problems? what can we do in our everyday life to change the situation?


Answer
Shreeta,

The exact cause of global warming is still debatable. I have read the New World Order report on global warming and those that wrote that much celebrated report seem to get lots of exercise reaching for conclusions without substantiation, and jumping on the bandwagon where no data exists.

Mankind does put around 12billion metric tons of carbon into the atmosphere (it is all reported as CO2 in the report, but its just not true). And it is true that this does contribute to the greenhouse gasses and as such does contribute to global warming. Does it cause it all on its own? Absolutely NOT! Is this only a minor contribution? YES! BUT it IS a contribution and as suck, it DOES help speed us along in the global warming scheme of things....is it reversible? YES (but only our contributory portion!)!!

What we can do is make millions of solar cells and put enough on each roof around the world to provide (at a minimum) 95% of that household's energy requirement. Then stop using natural gas and switch over to all electric appliances. Foster the use of electric or fuel cell cars and trucks, ban the use of charcoal bar-b-ques and wood burning fireplaces, and we'll have probably dropped worldwide CO2 production by 65%.

Is that enough to turn back the tied? Who knows? Will it prolong the onset? YES it will...how long? Again....No one knows.

Cheers.
