Natural gas is about 1000 btus per cubic foot
Electricity is 3413 btus per hour
Electricity is almost 100 per cent efficient in heating water in a new hot water heater. I would guess a natural gas hot water heater is only 80 to 90% efficient.
I don't know how long your heater would run in 24 hour but if it ran for one hour then you could use:
1 kilowatt of electricity for every 3.8 cubic feet of natural gas you burned assuming a 90% efficient heater. If the heater is only 80% efficient then the gas burned would be 3.9 cubic feet.
Now, having said all of that, the easiest way to compare the cost of operating a natural gas hot water heater and an electric hot water heater is to go to a website like the one below and compare. The one below has a place where you can click on the spec sheet for their electric or gas heaters and on the far right hand side the cost per year is shown. For electric heaters it is based on 8.6 cents per killowatt hour and for gas heaters it is based on 91 cents per therm which is 100,000 btus.
List some good reasons you would/wouldn't want a solar power plant near your home. This is for a school project so please list some good answers.
I would like a solar power plant FOR my home. I have no problem with such things nor would I complain about a 'wind farm'.
The current coal-fired plant (about 5 miles from me) pollutes every day. It is a "clean burn" plant but the operators seem to have found a way to conceal their pollution. I can see the yellow haze being emitted in the steam plume from the cooling towers (where nothing but steam is supposed to be) on sunny days.
I've told the local EPA about that but nothing has been done. Grift and bribery I would guess.
Anyway, the solar and wind plants are clean and efficient when operating and fueling them does not require deforestation or mining.
What would be a good price for either?
It depends on your location.
You will generate a lot more power with a wind machine. Solar is still pretty iffy for real power generation.

The plains of Texas now have gigantic visitors — wind turbines. And they are
providing energy for thousands.
