An electric skillet will use more energy than cooking with gas. This is because the electric skillet needs time to heat to the right temperature. The gas stove is already putting out heat. Gas is normally cheaper per unit than electricity.

There are many ways to look at this problem like upstream and downstream effects or just price wise. I'm sure someone out there has an easy answer. If the cost is lower the government might have invested more money into making that form of energy more efficient.
