A good tweet from David Roberts:
'One way to envision the magnitude of the electrification challenge: that yellow electricity slice needs to grow to eat almost all of the green natural gas slice & the purple oil slice, in less time than this chart covers. https://www.iea.org/data-and-statistics/charts/world-total-final-consumption-by-source-1971-2019'

To be fair, the yellow slice only needs to grow by about a third of the size of the green and purple slices - electricity is about three times more efficient than fossil fuels.
Yes.
An all electric economy would have far less grey on the energy flow charts.
