Answer 2

Appliances to convert electricity into energy services are steadily improving; Despite conversion losses in power generation, using electricity as energy carrier can stimulate primary energy savings and cut in greenhouse gas emissions (cf. speed electric train vs. diesel trains, not to mention air transport); Electricity allows for “system-level efficiencies,” that is, for considerable reduction or elimination of the need for other energy services – see for example the fact teleworking decreases the need to commute.
