For home heating purposes, compare the efficiency of using a 96% efficient home furmnce to an electric heat pump running on electricity generated by a natural gas power generating plant, considering power plant energy conversion efficiency and transmission losses over ambient temperatures ranging from 20 degrees Celsius to minus thirty Celcius
Be sure to read the very end. I had to drag it out of the 'bot, but the conclusion is:
Most Efficient Use of Natural Gas in Central Alberta
Considering the average winter temperatures in Central Alberta, which range from around -10°C to -20°C during the coldest months, the natural gas furnace is likely to deliver more actual heating BTUs to the home per MCF of natural gas combusted. The heat pump's efficiency drops significantly in these lower temperatures, making the natural gas furnace the more efficient option for the majority of the heating season in Central Alberta.
Therefore, for the most efficient use of natural gas in Central Alberta, a high-efficiency natural gas furnace is the clear winner, especially during the coldest months when heating demand is highest.

This could not be said ANY better…..please share & wake up some foolish in Canada….
This whole Lake Ontario issue only identifies and illustrates how incredibly uninformed some people are, and how so many lack critical thinking skills.
What people don't understand is that Donald Trump does this on purpose, just to expose the idiocy and hypocrisy. And those of you reacting are only proving his point.
We have changed the names of streets, schools, roads, buildings, universities, sports teams, government institutions, military bases, parks, mountains, islands, towns, and geographic landmarks.
We've changed terminology for races, ethnic groups, disabilities, occupations, Indigenous peoples, and entire communities. We've changed titles and forms of address. We're told to respect people's preferred names and pronouns, even when they differ from what they were called previously.
Remember the Queen Charlotte Islands? We changed that name to Haida Gwaii. Now they're even talking about changing the name of ...
