I like your syllogism, it's optimistic but I don't agree. Vegans need refrigerators. Not for the same variety of perishables as you, but in the first world, they're still going to have one in their kitchen running all the time. There are other speculative claims that can be defended on the environmental benefits of a plant-based diet that I've come across, but in general, we're no better with refrigerators than you.

Actually vegans use more gadgets in the kitchen than a professional restaurant:
Blenders, juicers, deep fryers, rice cooker, etc. Etc.
All of those appliances are frequently used by omnivores, they aren't even remotely vegan-exclusive. Unless you have data to support a claim about vegan appliance usage and/or electrical consumption, I think this would fall under the category of 'conjecture'.

Also, everyone would be sick and malnurished.
The rumor that a vegan diet cannot provide sufficient nutrients has long been sewn into dietary propaganda and repeatedly debunked. It's more than sufficient.
