Most countries use way more primary energy for heating and transportation than for electricity generation. It would be disingenuous not to include this.

It’s fairly disingenuous to mix both actually when they don’t mingle. Especially when you consider that both heating and transportation are going in the direction of using more electricity which is actually favorable to the French choice.

Energy is energy. Why make a special category for heating and transport?

It's because the energy sources, technical implementation and uses are so vastly different between the power grid, heating and transportation.
