The take that struck me the most came towards the end. And it’s that when you electrify, not only are you not burning fossil fuels to work your stove, but you’re also not burning fossil fuels to power the drilling equipment, to ship the crude oil, to refine it, to pump it to your stove.

A large portion of our critical energy demand is just getting fossil fuel energy to its point of use, so small amounts of electrification and efficiency improvements at point of use have large impacts on the upstream emissions
