> 2/3 of all energy is used for heating and transport, and electricity can't be used for that Well, here in the Netherlands, the majority of the trains will soon (2018) be powered by 100% wind energy. 50% since this year. So it's categorically (and I would think obviously) incorrect to say "you can't use electricity for transport". http://www.ns.nl/over-ns/campagnes/maatschappelijk-betrokken/energie.html http://www.ns.nl/over-ns/campagnes/maatschappelijk-betrokken... Heating is another question entirely. You have more of a point there -- it's hard to find an alternative to natural gas for heating.
