The De-Electrification of the U.S. Economy
LED and CFL lights, SEER ratings, LEED certifications, Energy Stars all are having an impact.Just in computers there have been huge advances. My MacBook Pro requires about 1/6 the electricity of my 2007 Desktop, and my LCD monitor is about 1/6 a CRT.Transition to EVs may start to soak up all the gains we're making in efficiency so the usage may start to tick back up. But we're building Solar and Wind sources at an increasing rate that will effectively start trading oil for renewable electricity.These are all positive trends.
