solar doesn’t help you heat and cook guy, need natural gas

It does guy. It's called electricity. Most people don't have natural gas

Incorrect. 70% use gas or fuel oil…

And 30% of that use natural gas, clearly the minority. And most homes who do use oil have electric stoves, so wrong again.

Incorrect. Only 13% of American households have heating oil, primarily concentrated in the northeast. Try again.

You try again. We're not talking about American households we're taking about RI. Learn how to research within a scope. Every time you lose an argument you expand the scope.

Incorrect again. 60% of households in Rhode Island heat with natural gas. source: EIA, https://www.eia.gov/state/analysis.php?sid=RI

Excess Solar energy is stored in batteries. That energy is converted to electricity and can be used to heat and cook when it’s dark out. But of course you know that.
