If you only have electrical you can put smaller units inline with specific areas (such as master bath's shower), but last time I looked they didn't have a good whole-house unit that ran on electricity.

I didn't think they existed at all. I haven't done a ton of research though since I don't even have gas.
The gas is necessary for the fact that heat is needed instantly. Electricity takes a bit of time to reach temperature.

Also maybe have the gutter system collect rain water into a tank so you can reuse the rain water.

They are available, but are much smaller capacity and take a TON of electricity to operate. I've looked into it for my house since we don't have gas (its at the street though), but its not just worth the cost to justify it.

...in the moat.

It never occurred to me to connect a gas grill to the house gas line. That's brilliant (and obvious). I won't be building, or even buying a house for many years. But this thread is still lots of fun to read.
