As we collectively rush to electrification, there’s one essential truth we must keep in mind: electrification is not necessarily decarbonization! Electrification done wrong can actually bring us further away from our goal of decarbonization. We propose to share some of what we have observed relative to the near misses, blind spots, misinformed assumptions, unintended consequences, and stubborn entrenched that have made electrification efforts fall short of the decarbonization that we need.
