now to me, an element is the word for the heating element on an electric stove...( California with all its power problems, is moaning and groaning about the cost of a kwh-- it used to be $0.05-- and is now averaging $0.18-- NY used to be $0.13-- and is now pushing up to $0.24--and california problem is? ) In both cases about a 10 cent increase-- only we still pay way more than them... (and would could end up paying more still!) Needless to say-- almost no one has electric stoves in NY! (Oh to be in England {with its ready supply of North Sea petrolium!})
