The Primary Energy Fallacy is the idea that all primary energy from fossil fuels must be replaced with equivalent amount of clean energy.
BUT: Not necessary because >2/3 of all primary energy is lost as waste heat.
Electrification+renewables are far more efficient.

Where does the cranberry sauce comes be from? It was fun to visit a cranberry bog at U mass Amherst with Scott Soby. They are grown in peat bogs which when flooded cause the berries to float so they can be mechanically harvested. This is their fruit sorter.
