The electrical infrastructure isn’t 100% efficient or reliable.

I’d call them semi -complementary from a consumer perspective and have different strengths and weaknesses, similar to phone and cable before.

My long term view is gas will go away first as electric costs go down and reliability goes up with local caches such as the PowerWall. Eventually usage will be light enough to cut the cable from long distance generation for close range neighborhood nukes.
