You should look at how much electricity it would take to replace LNG in the chemical industry.

Whilst all of these are possible it’s possible with a multi decade mega project style of planning.

So we should start increasing capacity now :)

And the first step is to have a realistic plan to make electricity as cheap and abundant as possible, as soon as possible, while still minimizing pollution.

Also, every step helps. If we cut consumption in half, we halve the rate of global warming (at least). It's not like its all-or-nothing.
