Indeed, it's bad enough when they mix up units of the same dimension, but ignoring different dimensions is even more stupid (though it has the advantage of being more easily detectable without even having to check the numbers). In that vein, a common mistake is to mix up multiplication with division, e.g. when they write "terawatt per hour" instead of "terawatt hour" for energy or "kmh" instead of "km/h" for speed.

> the power requirements of a home is increasing significantly as we gravitate more away from gas towards heat pumps and electric cars.

That's not true at all.

Usage recorded by the electricity meter will go up, yes, but usage recorded at the gas meter will go down. And net, the newer approaches use less power than the older ones.

The one technical exception is the car, whose power requirement was previously not captured by the home's consumption. But including that, on a household basis power consumption should drop.

Correct for the exact opposite reason. Our homes use less and less power as better insulation becomes widespread. Italy for example just had a massive campaign of incentives for people to renovate their homes to better power saving.
