Is running wholly separate refrigeration, AC, ovens, and other electric power negligible? Average household size in cities tends to be smaller than the suburbs. The environmental argument always clings to cars, but emissions keep improving. Carbon footprint per person is really what we're talking about here.

Of course, ideally the energy we spend would be generated and stored via other sources; and technology will likely lead us in that direction.
