for cooking and heating? It's worse for cooking, that shits like the equivalent of sitting in a garage with a small combustion engine running, as for heating, it's only nice if you don't use a heat pump system, and if you're using a heat pump, you might as well throw in a solar system.

Modern gas based furnaces still require electricity to run anyway.
