You have about 50% share of electricity heating in France, it's far from nothing.
Edit: And coal heating is probably close to zero to be honest, that sounds old, even for the countryside. The rest of those 50% would be gas, petrol and wood.

I am so jealous. Here in Kazakhstan we use coal-powered central heating. And here is the kind of air it gives us:

It gets much worse in the evening.
These photos were taken in Almaty, but the situation is the same everywhere (if not worse).

At first I wanted to post this particular photo, but couldn't find it, and now I can't edit the original comment.

Those pictures look awful, I hope it will improve in the future :/
How about "most people aren't using electricity for heating"? People rarely heat their houses with electricity in Europe, that would be very expensive. It's usually gas or oil boiler, sometimes a coal one.
