Definitely the better way to go but heat pumps cost £9-18k (that's the range for air and ground source). I'm sure they're the future and costs will come down, but I don't think they're the near future for most people.
To reach the 2050 target of net zero emissions government has to move over to plentiful low carbon electricity, hence that consortium led by Rolls Royce looking to build (relatively) large numbers of small modular reactors. Gas usage will be actively discouraged in the near future and electric will be the viable alternative.
IMO ;)
