It's always been funny to me that throughout engineering people chase like 1% efficiency improvements from like 20 to 21 or 35 to 36 and it's usually a big win when achieved... meanwhile resistive heating has an efficiency of 100% and it still manages to absolutely suck.

It only sucks because of generation and transmission losses. If those didn’t exist (not possible), electricity would be much cheaper and they would be on par with or better than natural gas furnaces
