Electrification — The Modern Day Spin on the “All-Electric House”

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how we use energy in our homes and communities. For most of my life, fossil fuels were a given—used to heat our homes, fuel our stoves, and power water heaters. But now, more and more people are pulling the plug on natural gas and, quite literally, plugging everything into the wall. The “All Electric House” was a popular phrase back in the 50s, and now it’s back in the form of “Electrification” as one of the top buzzwords in the green home building community.
