Have you ever tried running a gas furnace off of a solar panel?

"Accelerating a transition" != "this has been 100% accomplished"

I skipped the part of the article that says that the heat pumps will always be accompanied by solar panels.

The idea is that electrification enables a future where electricity generation transitions to low emissions. A gas furnace will always burn gas. In Canada electricity is called hydro because it nearly all hydroelectric. So buying an EV zeros out tailpipe emissions and electric generation emissions are also very low.
