This is the tone-deafness that ruins all efforts to actually convince people to take climate change seriously. It's extremely harmful.

Yes high efficiency heat pumps are getting better. But they aren't readily available. If they are, very few companies install/service them. No one has them in the Midwestern area I live in. They also only work down to say -20F and we do have quite a few days below that so you can't just make natural gas illegal.

Not to mention not everyone can afford it. Maybe let's focus on making them readily available and cheap instead of just banning things outright.
