@amiloradovsky@functional.cafe what I mean is that by some estimates 1/4 to 1/3 or carbon emissions are from home heating. If there's going to be any hope of reducing that, natural gas & oil need to be phased out. Electrical heating is currently cost prohibitive but necessary to transition to renewable source.
Making a heating source that subsidizes its use by making the electricity do something more useful while being burned could speed this transition. Mining baseboard heaters could do that.
@amiloradovsky@functional.cafe it would also have the effect of further distributing & democratizing the generation. If every community or electrical utility had a pool to pay the home owners, that has the potential to reduce the current trend toward power consolidation.
