We have geothermal HVAC and this is one reason why banning gas hookups seems like a very bad idea to me. What we have is essentially an electric heat pump that gets routed through the earth. We love it but during bad winter storms I feel vulnerable by being so dependent on electricity. We haven't had problems so far but if we did it would be very bad. It doesn't seem like a bad thing to allow for multiple ways to heat your home, water, and food. Solar is another possibility but that seems impractical in a lot of scenarios, especially when one of the major reasons for an electrical outage would be storms. I understand the motivations for wanting to ban fossil fuels but I feel like the best way to do that is to let the market take its course, maybe with positive government incentives. Let people figure out what the best balance of fossil fuel dependency is. Build up the grid to the point where it seems indestructible and convince people that way. It seems like a bad idea to force increased dependency on the electric grid when there's so many stories about how poor it is in so many places.
