Not sure why you need to resort to name calling...but if you do, at least spell correctly. I'm not even sure I get it. Kentucky Fried Chicken? Have you tried the new Double Down? I heard it's unbelievable! But, I digress...
42% is still the largest "chunk" by usage segment by far, even if you exclude diesel and jet. So please don't split hairs.
Anyways, why exclude them? Burning diesel and jet fuel is demand driven. It goes to the same core behavioral issues. Change behavior. Use less. Break the cycle.

Did I mention I have the only geo-thermal heating and cooling system in my town...close to 30 grand. The equivalent of taking 1.5 cars off the road per year. In addition, my payback rivals any investment I would have made over the past 3 years with the same dollar for dollar.
Yes, I put my money were my mouth is. Have you?

You are correct. Just like the pedestrian...We all just got flucked, big time.
