Skewed analysis. It assumes:

1. No energy savings.

2. No carbon sequestration.

Now, I'm no expert on either of these, but both are of extreme importance to achieving emission reduction goals, and there is huge potential for such reductions.

“The mere act of electrification has a powerful effect on efficiency: electrifying the US economy from carbon free sources will reduce the amount of energy needed by more than half.”

They will cut the problem by much more than a half.
