I’m all for burning less gas, it’s too important a resource to simply burn for heat.
But we need to build the nuclear reactors first.
In the mean time, no: people can’t just freeze in the dark.

If you do put in heat pumps, nuclear reactors are still one of the more expensive ways to heat a home, but you need a third as many of them as compared to the no-heat-pumps case, if you insist on heating only with nuclear power.
Nuclear power is really only important if you also want spicy atoms, because it's by far the cheapest source of spicy atoms. Annoyingly, this is now a thing a lot of countries have a solid reason to want.
