Thank you.

Without anyone please getting angry (i.e. using all caps)...
When I was developing software for an energy management firm back in the late 70’s, for our calculations we had electricity as only yielding 33% of the energy (BTU’s) in the original fossil-fuel source. This was due primarily to losses in boiler efficiency at the generator, and in transmission (of which there was some, but I don’t remember the exact value).
Granted that was over 40 years ago and I’m sure improvements have been made. I’d be interested to see some accurate estimates for today.
