Give it a chance. He comes at it showing sorta a worse case and then goes through how there are things that make it seem worse are actually not as bad. Nothing he goes through seems to be way off. So as far as I can tell its pretty even take. Not to rosy and not to doomy.
I find it hard to believe that heat is that small a portion. Excepting europes moderating current everyone around saint louis and further north and something similar in the southern hemisphere should be paying more for heat than any other utility. Im not sure how industrial processes factor in on the use of energy with heat but I agree that from what I know they should be a high percentage of energy use. As far as I can tell he is just not breaking it apart like that and its possible it uses a lot of heat. Especially if it includes smelters. I think the problem is he is looking overall but talking more in terms of residential.
