I just also want to add that gas heating is also effectively >100% efficient relative to electricity because there are no losses incurred on the power generatio

  That depends on how you're making that gas. IIRC algae (the primary ingredient in most fossile fuels) are less than 10% efficient at converting sunlight into chemical energy after metabolic expenditures. (There's also the part where the sun is <<0.00001% efficent at turning fusion energy into sunlight-that-hits-earth, but that problem isn't specific to gas heating.)
