Technically, yes. However, if you're trying to figure out if it will be cost-effective to switch from one energy source to another, the answer is no. A gas dryer will generally cost $50-70 more than an electric dryer. If your home does not already have gas, that will require the gas company to pipe gas into your home, as well as having fittings installed to set up your dryer. Likewise, switching from gas to electric would mean a dryer that costs less but requires a 220v outlet, which requires a dedicated circuit. This means around $400 of work by an electrician. So, the simplest answer is, whatever energy source you already have for a dryer is the energy source you should use.
