In rebuttal, gas heating is still releasing carbon into the atmosphere, and we really can’t afford to do much more of that. Also, Manitoba’s electricity is 98% or higher renewable, so even electric resistive assisting heat pumps for the month or so a year you’d need it wouldn’t mean more carbon is being released into the atmosphere. So the big problems are, people already have natural gas heating (like me) and can’t afford to put in heat pumps to solve that problem. And it will cost more, but only because we externalize the cost of the climate damage.
