We do use electric heating from time to time but it's not constant. No electric cars. Still a 15x increase seems huge.
Increasing electricity production 10x to electrify cars is not going to be achievable soon. Either via the power grid or home solar panels. Most people cannot afford to invest $40k in solar panels, batteries, etc.
Well, people who live somewhere where they need heating use more energy to stay alive than those who don't. Too bad California is so expensive because we could decarbonize the US significantly just by making it affordable for people to move there from Northern states.
