I'm not convinced either a heat pump has a cop of ~4. A thermal power plant is ~50% efficient and transmission isn't losing 50% of the energy. This also ignores

A thermal power plant is ~50% efficient and transmission isn't losing 50% of the energy.
This also ignores any greening of the grid, present and future. And the fact that a furnace/boiler isn't 100% efficient.
