sounds like a great way of missing the point.

So instead of burning gas in the home at 95% or so efficient,
you want to build ...

I wasn't *advocating* anything, just giving the motivation. And

my point was that there is no motivation, there is no upside.


whatever engineering trade-offs get made in the end, throwaway
remarks like "from gas? At great expense" will not be very useful.


If we keep using gas that doesn't require the first replacement
of household systems. Or the second!

All systems get replaced as they age and fail.
