Well, you clearly can. Norway hasn't used gas. At home people have used mostly electric heaters and wood. They're now switching out oil burning furnaces and wood burning furnaces in many areas with heat pumps.
Sweden is burning trash for electricity and piping heat from those powerplants to nearby areas.
In most areas you'd need cheaper electricity, and heat pumps should be cheaper as well. But it's definitely possible.
- colechristensen 7y agoNorway is 99% hydroelectric because of geography and low population. Sweden is 40% hydro, 40% nuclear. In neither are renewables used in significantly large ways (maybe excepting the few percent of Swedish trash burning) that are applicable to the rest of the world.
