The Biden administration wants to effectively mandate heat pump water heaters. The trouble with this is twofold. First, the power added efficiency of the power plants that fuel them is about 35%, so they're really not much more efficient than natural gas. Second, heat pumps don't work well below 20F. Might not be an issue in Florida, but north of the Mason-Dixon, that's a problem, especially since the desireability of a hot shower goes up exponentially as the mercury drops.
