   Most of the energy debate is focused on the tip of the iceberg - electricity.

   But almost 80% of our energy use is for heat and transport relying heavily on fossil fuels.

   Decarbonisation requires an all-sector approach.

     @janrosenow I like this graphic, because I definitely have been guilty of conflating "energy" with "electricity".

     I get the focus on electricity, though. @leahstokes points out that if we can clean the grid, *and* electrify everything, that will go a long way to reducing our emissions

     This doesnt track with me because they arent mutually exclusive categories. Heat and transport can both be facilitated by either electricity or fossil fuel means.
