<p>Created page with &quot;&quot;Electrify everything&quot; is a simple way to describe the phasing-out of <a href="/Fossil_fuels" title="Fossil fuels">fossil fuels</a>. Anything powered by coal/oil/gas would instead be powered by electricity. ====How much more electricity would be needed?==== * For transport: See <a href="/index.php?title=Electric_vehicles/energy&amp;action=edit&amp;redlink=1" class="new" title="Electric vehicles/energy (page does not exist)">electric_vehicles/energy</a> for a quick estimate. * For industrial: The exact numbers will be posted to this page soon. ====Can we even generate that much electricity?==== Not without major technological breakthroughs in <a href="/Solar" class="mw-redirect" title="Solar">solar</a> &amp; win...&quot;</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>&quot;Electrify everything&quot; is a simple way to describe the phasing-out of [[fossil fuels]]. Anything powered by coal/oil/gas would instead be powered by electricity.<br /> <br /> ====How much more electricity would be needed?====<br /> * For transport: See [[electric_vehicles/energy]] for a quick estimate.<br /> * For industrial: The exact numbers will be posted to this page soon.<br /> <br /> ====Can we even generate that much electricity?====<br /> Not without major technological breakthroughs in [[solar]] &amp; [[wind]] (plus [[energy storage]]), and/or [[nuclear]] power.<br /> <br /> Most of the world's electricity is currently generated from fossil fuels (coal &amp; natural gas). If this was the main way to &quot;electrify everything&quot;, the environmental impact would be even worse than the status quo, because power plants are not perfectly efficient. It takes more fuel to [generate electricity and use the electricity] than it does to [just burn the fuel].</div>
