Eli5 if electric vehicles are better for the environment than fossil fuel, why isn’t there any emphasis on heating homes with electricity rather gas or oil?
In: Physics
In Norway there’s no infrastructure for gas, and liquid fossil for heating is banned. Electricity is used for everything, with assistance from wood in many houses.
There are some houses with gas burners in the kitchen, but those use 5kg bottles.
There is, but geothermal is even better than electricity. There’s companies replacing oil heaters up in the north east with super efficient geo thermal. Gas has been popular because it’s cheap and reliable. Stop subsidizing gas and oil and watch people scramble for electric and geo thermal heat.
