Electricity vs. energy. Electricity is only part of energy.

Even still, this is a great progress in the last decade.

We're headed in the right direction, even if we better accelerate and spread practices elsewhere.

Can you clarify what the distinction is?

There are places where natural gas is used for heating and cooking by combustion. These tasks can also be done with electricity for the power source and then we'll be overall cleaner. However the transition is a massive task and requires a lot of convincing (e.g. that cooking with induction is as good or better even than gas, heat pump costs less in the long run).
