Yes, but you can build tens of millions of resistance heaters much faster than tens of millions of heat pumps. They're also trivial to install. I was trying to propose something possible, not something ideal.

Now, you'd still have that problem with heat pumps, because our grid is simply under-sized for it, but just not quite to the same extent.
