The energy use numbers are kind of silly.

Nuclear is ~20% of our electricity gen, so 1/4th of that is 1/20th or 5% of US electricity aka not really that big a deal. Energy wise getting to an office is generally far more expensive.

Further they talk about BTU for heating ignoring heat pumps generally being over 100% efficient and running on electricity.

Que? How can anything be over 100% efficient?

Because efficiency is measured by how much heat you get compared to the electricity you put in, and heat pumps cheat by moving heat in from outside. So you get more heat than you could from the energy input.
