> power consumption … would go way down in winter as efficiency is greatly increased Not sure where you live, but in my experience living across the USA, I don’t think switching all heating to heat pumps in winter would reduce electricity usage. Most homes heat with propane, fuel oil, kerosene, or, in places like NYC, steam. There are certainly some homes out there with electric element heating but they are so expensive to run that they’re not very common. It might be better for emissions if we used renewable energy to generate all of that power. But we don’t right now.
