Hot water heaters spread demand over the day with small peaks. Electric Tankless don't work very well or quickly, and they have huge peaks during high demand times, which are fairly uniform (between 530-7am people showering to go to work)
Gas makes sense because they work much better/faster and there is no load on the electrical grid.
For some reason, I can only conclude that the Biden administration wants people to wreck our electric grid. Maybe it's a hegelian dialectic
Problem: America is lagging in Nuclear (fusion) energy and this is very bad because we're going to lose our title as energy leader, and we'll be out competed in every way by Russia/China and others
Reaction: Let's wreck the energy grid by banning all natural gas / propane appliance and causing an overburden with EV vehicles also, to create artificial justification to update it
Solution: We tell america we can't go forward without Nuclear. We build nuclear fusion and safer/updated/modernized fission plants (hopefully thorium molten salt reactors)
The other idea is that they are forcing people back to traditional hot water heaters because on demand ones really suck. They might do this in order to level out the usage over the day in order to help the electrical grid meet the higher EV demands

The reactors do not even need to be thorium.
Even if we stuck with uranium but did Gen IV Pebble Bed Reactors, we'd be light years ahead.

But yes, if we could go thorium, that would be totally bitchin'. And I am not being sarcastic.
This suggests the whole green thing was a fraud that was pushed by people who actually wanted to destroy America's technology leadership
That's exactly what they are doing...
