Should people in the northern hemisphere start considering mining bitcoin to heat their homes durrng the winter months?

Very brief, saw a blip of an article on cnn a few minutes ago that suggests heating costs for natural gas could go up 180% this fall. Was thinking if individual households started mining btc with something like ant miners, would it be a cost effective alternative to just burning gas to heat your home? Theres some math to do, but I figured folks here might like to put their 2 cents into the concept.

Thoughts? Is this totally dumb or just clever enough to pat off?

Edit: also the article if it even matters. https://www.cnn.com/2021/09/28/business/natural-gas-inflation/index.html
