Good luck with a cold snap if all, or most, of the buildings are converted to all-electric. The grid won’t stand a chance.

Air-couple heat pumps have a terrible “Coefficient of Performance” when the air temps drop to near freezing and put out lukewarm air. Nobody likes lukewarm air, so you need backup resistance electric heat. The existing electrical distribution system would need to be replaced, another minor detail on the road to green nirvana.

And that is presuming the unicorn fart power generation technology works, too. They haven’t even started those demonstration projects yet.
