Of course someone has to pay to heat up hot water. That wasn't my point.
At the risk of stating the obvious, I'm trying to save a few minutes of
heating the water on the stove.

Don't be so sure that I'm wasting a bunch of heat either - as far as I
know, using the stove will mean that I'm paying to heat up the stove and
the room.

OTOH, I used an induction stove last night and that's a whole crapload
faster than using any method of heating water - including microwaving.
It's totally awesome! My guess is that induction stoves are gonna get
popular real fast.
