I generally agree but in this case you can't really beat a heat pump in the near future, except with a better heat pump. The cats spending money to keep things from changing are the gas lobby.

If we keep installing gas we'll be stuck maintaining two expensive energy distribution infrastructures forever when one (gas) is much less useful and flexible compared to electricity

    There was technically no ban on incandescent lightbulbs. Instead, the law set efficiency requirements, which were beyond what incandescents could meet.

    I'm sure we could write something like that for HVAC systems.
