You could use the 97% of electricity that was lost to heat to power a heat pump. Heat pumps beat 100% efficiency. [1] > In heating mode, heat pumps are three to four times more efficient in their use of electric power than simple electrical resistance heaters. Instead of just generating waste heat, you generate waste heat and move heat around in a desired way. 1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_pump https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_pump
