@strypey You’ve got it! Electrified transport needs 3-5x less input energy for the same result (kilometres driven, or whatever). Electrified heating with a heat pump needs 3-5x less input energy for the same result (a warm home). We don’t need to replace ALL of our current energy use with renewables. Just some of it. Which is cheaper, cleaner and better for everyone that isn’t in the business of selling fossil fuels…

Thinking about the threads I posted about energy the other day. I knew that electric engines were far more efficient than even the latest combustion engines. But until I read Thorn's article on rewired.nz, I'd never joined the dots that this means we don't need the same number of calories of renewable energy to replace fossil fuel energy.
