from gas? At great expense.

I believe the point is that the needed electricity can come from whatever
happens to be a good way of generating it. And then even if that generation
happens to involve burning fossil fuels, then in a large power plant one
could implement carbon-capture; a practice that would be impractical to
implement on household boilers, or on cars). Further, if you did then
manage to phase out fossil power generation, it wouldn't require (another)
replacement of household systems.
