A new order from the Biden Administration prohibits the sale of new non-condensing natural gas-fired water heaters.ASSOCIATED PRESS
Roughly 58 million gas-fired water heaters are estimated to be in use in the USA
The average electric water heater uses around 380 to 500 kilowatt-hours (kWh) per month,
So Federal law forbidding gas usage of 58 million heaters replaced with 380 to 500 kWh / month means: 348,000,000,000 kWh for water heaters.
The USA generates today: about 4.18 trillion kWh. With 60% from Fossil fuels or 2.5 trillion kWh.
So given Biden guarantees to "I guarantee We Are Going To Get Rid of Fossil Fuels” September 06, 2019, 5:49 PM
Then Biden wants to eliminate 60% of electricity WHILE increasing usage by .3 Trillion kWh from water heaters.
Biden guarantees to rid 2.5 trillion kWh while
ADDING .3 Trillion kWh for water heaters.
Adding In the US, the average annual electricity consumption for EV charging is estimated to be around 4,000 to 5,000 kWh per vehicle.
33,000,000 EVs in 2030 or an additional 165 billion kWh needed for 33 million EVs.
National Renewable Energy Laboratory estimates that by 2030 there will be 33 million EVs on the road and 28 million EV charging ports will be needed to support them
But what about trucks???
That's 504 billion kWh or another .5 Trillion kWh.
So folks where was Biden thinking the additional electricity would come from if
- 2.4 Trillion kWh replacing fossil fuels..
+.3 Trillion kWh replacing gas water heaters
+.16 Trillion kWh for EV cars
+.50 Trillion kWh for EV trucks.
3.3 Trillion kWh needed ! Where will it come from?? In 5 years!

The order was published the day after Christmas.

But what about trucks???
Electrifying US long haul trucks will require 504 TWh a year. But that won’t be the hardest part.
Electrifying US long haul trucks will require 504 TWh a year. But that won’t be the hardest part.
The energy needed to support electric semis is enormous, from a generation perspective. However, it is the transmission and distribution angle that makes this challenge truly daunting for utility planning and investment.
