> "Gas is amazingly efficient, near 100%, certainly as good as a heat pump on 100% carbon neutral energy."

Heat pumps achieve far in excess of 100% efficiency. You get several times more heat energy out than electrical energy goes in.

Of course, gas has in previous years been very cheap in many regions. So despite their efficiency advantage, often there hasn't been enough of an economic advantage to justify the upfront cost. But with the recent gas crisis, that might now be changing in Europe.
