This is especially frustrating given natural gas is still being burned off at well heads. It's still a waste product in the US and priced as so.
I get that heat pumps are excellent, and that there are economies of scale at play for the state run nat gas power plants. But natural gas is still an order of magnitude cheaper in WA State, and having a gas furnace is only marginally more carbon intensive than letting the state burn the gas for you.
I would rather they focus on making power cheaper and more plentiful than this annoying anti-consumer focus.
