Electric baseboard heat bad?
You mean I can take my heat pump evaporator coil unit, bring it indoors, remove
heat from my house and then put it back into the house and get more heat that I
take out for no energy cost?
Bunch of nonsense.
This is just plain grade nine physics.

Other than heat pumps, all electric heat will cost the same to use.
Let's not forget that dehumidifiers are heat pumps.
Moving a pound of 55 F 100% RH basement air with 0.0093 pounds of water vapor
up into an airtight house and warming it to 65 with 0.24(65-55) = 2.4 Btu and
drying it to 30% RH so it contains 0.004 pounds of water, releasing 1000x5.3
= 5.3 Btu, provides 5.3-2.4 = 2.9 Btu more heat than the electrical energy
needed to operate the dehumidifier.
