Question 1 of 10
Single answer
Why is "is an all-electric building cheaper?" the wrong question to ask about electrification economics?
A
Because electrification is always more expensive, so the answer is simply no
B
Because the word "cheaper" hides two different costs - a usually-higher first cost and a usually-lower running cost - and the real question is how fast the running savings pay back the extra first cost
C
Because cost never matters in climate decisions, only carbon does
D
Because only a quantity surveyor is allowed to think about cost at all
