If photoelectric heating by grains within the diffuse ionized component of the interstellar medium is 10-25 ergs s-1 hydrogen-1, the average value within diffuse H I regions, then grain heating equals or exceeds photoionization heating of the ionized gas. This supplemental heat source would obviate the need for energetic (i.e., hν > 17 eV) ionizing photons to balance the observed forbidden line cooling and could be responsible in part for enhanced intensities of some of the forbidden lines.
