essentially you can look at stats for trmspotrt fuel divide the energy
by about three* and end up with a national incease in grid capacity.

I made it that we would need to go to about 200GW capaciy from about
60GW to do EVERYTHING POSSIBLE by electricity.

So a long term tripling of overall grid capacity in the next 50 years or
so,.



*assuming leccy power about 100% with regen braking, and diesl/petrol
around 33%
