Even if it's a gas water heater...

Anyone living in Louisiana with a total electric house, if you don't have to, is a fool...

We even bring propane tanks to my POS camp to cook and heat... No way in hell I would be all electric if gas was an option...

Entergy: Yesterday, record demand for power resulted in a call from our grid coordinator for periodic power outages to maintain the safety and stability of the regional electric grid. Please limit electricity usage, including turning off electric water heaters and lowering heating thermostat settings. Insufficient reductions may require additional temporary interruptions of electric service. Thank you.
