Interesting thought. But I'm placing my bet on good ol' human nature to stop this one in its tracks. The kind of people that want to kill all those $ENEMY bastards are generally more motivated by self interest than anything else, so this plan's too slow to accomplish anything in that regard.
I'm under the impression that all elecric heaters are equally efficient. What are they going to do, produce waste heat? No reason to assume that this doesn't hold true even in a silly setup such as this one.
All the losses (and they are considerable) are on the powerco's side, which is why electricity, and therefore electric heat, is so darned expensive.)
