I'm also a reasonably well-off New Yorker, and I made the switch.

My apartment does not rely on electricity for heating; it's steam-based. Were it electricity-based, I won't switch.

But in the summer the price of electricity is like 50% of what plain Con Edison used to offer, and it's the time when power consumption peaks because of the running of air conditioning all day.

The reported generation mix is low-carbon, about half of it comes from nuclear plants, some from hydro and solar, about 1/3 from gas-fired stations, apparently zero from coal-firing stations.

So, for me it's a win-win so far.
