   Electricity isn't a source, it's a transmission medium,   
   same as hydrogen.   
      
   Perhaps I'm missing your point, if so please elaborate.

   The energy content of methane / natural gas is  1/2 to 2/3 wasted when   
   generating electricity, while burning gas in a condensing home furnace   
   wastes only 10% of the higher (steam condensing) heat value.
