I've got a few places near me that have Chicken Tikka pizza and I can't bring myself to order it. I always just want Chicken Tikka and rice

    You definitely cannot. All of those materials burn and release carbon. Not 100% of the material goes towards energy. Solar for instance produces electricity with no byproduct (excluding the cost to make the panel). There are no byproducts in the generation stage. We then transport the electric which also produces heat.

    It's only a waste if you are generating that electricity from non-renewables. If the electric is coming from nuclear or renewable AND there is enough electricity where you are then there's basically no harm. Electric heat is 100% efficient since all the energy is consumed for its intended purpose.
