How about "most people aren't using electricity for heating"? People rarely heat their houses with electricity in Europe, that would be very expensive. It's usually gas or oil boiler, sometimes a coal one.
- realusername 7y agoYou have about 50% share of electricity heating in France, it's far from nothing. Edit: And coal heating is probably close to zero to be honest, that sounds old, even for the countryside. The rest of those 50% would be gas, petrol and wood.
- noragami 7y agoI am so jealous. Here in Kazakhstan we use coal-powered central heating. And here is the kind of air it gives us: https://b.radikal.ru/b12/1902/bd/a6d615dba25b.jpg https://b.radikal.ru/b12/1902/bd/a6d615dba25b.jpg https://d.radikal.ru/d15/1901/1b/ea0e8c26f8d2.jpg https://d.radikal.ru/d15/1901/1b/ea0e8c26f8d2.jpg It gets much worse in the evening. These photos were taken in Almaty, but the situation is the same everywhere (if not worse).

- realusername 7y agoThose pictures look awful, I hope it will improve in the future :/
- varjag 7y agoThis is very location dependent. Some nations are almost entirely warming their homes with electricity.
