2% of natural gas is used to produce ammonia which is used for various critical industrial purposes.
To replace that with electricity, I estimated it would take 30% of all carbon free power sources on earth in 2009 (when I looked into it)
The power required to actually electrify industries is massive, and without the fossil fuels subsidy the whole way of life on most of the planet would need to fundamentally change.
