And more efficient doesn't mean better. I can't use induction hobs (pacemaker) and like the instant heat and control of gas heating. If people just swapped out gas for heat pumps and then wanted more heat "now" they'd plug in electric heaters.


And coal/wood fires work in power cuts. Very useful when they have happened, can heat main room and even cook on it.
It's a global issue, not just us in the prosperous West. No one's pretending that there are no costs involved and that sacrifices in convenience won't have to be made.
