Lots 'o sunshine down there. And probably some memories of smog from the 60-70s. Electric does really clear the air.
Anywhere left/below a line from say Reno NV to Jacksonville FL, almost shouldn't want gas given the cost of solar anymore. I'm sure in a generation or so they probably will, as more solar and batteries are rolled out, and the battery tech gets bigger/better.
If we got that much sun here all year, I would switch our boiler and water heater over to electric from gas. But I think Id need a lot more panels and batts to make it work.
