Total energy consumption is also very different from total electrical consumption, which is only at 14% of total energy consumption. I don't know of anyone who's targeting things like direct burning of fuel for, say, a steel foundry. Or anyone who would argue that PV can take that job over. Maybe concentrated solar could?
