Gorjus,
I see you are just pretending to know what you are talking about. Large power plant generators are about 90% efficient turbins vary from 30% to well over 40%. You are probably used to hering SEER figures for A/C and heat pumps, but we engineers who design them use differant numbers. Mostly we use COP or coefficient of performance. Usually about 3 for an average system. That is three times the heat being pumped for each unit of heat consumed or 300%. The contractors and utility companies often use numbers to convince you of whatever is best for their profit margin, but ususally heat pumps are the most efficient and lowest cost system, often even if used with heat strips. Now if you live in an area where gas is cheap and electricity is expensive, heat pumps may not be the most economical choice, but they are the most energy efficient.

I see you are just pretending to...

... be polite, and interested in a civilized discussion.

Basic rule of thumb: When someone goes ad hominem, the discussion is over. Have fun with your arrogance.
