Electricity is one path to decarbonising heat - look at France, where a lot of space heating is electric rather than gas, thanks to their cheap nuclear generation. If we have an abundance of renewable electricity, we may be able to use it to replace some (not all) of our gas burn and (thanks to EVs) a substantial chunk of our motor fuel consumption
But yeah, sure - I’m well aware that electricity isn’t the solution to everything. I just think highlighting the fact that we’re making some valuable progress in some areas is important balance to the “we’re all going to die” hyperbole.
