I remember years ago in meetings we would have at the power company, we were concerned to see power consumption dropping, because manufacturing was moving from the United States and appliances, light bulbs, etc... were all getting more and more efficient. At that time, electric cars were just getting started, so we were hopeful that the widespread adoption of those would balance out the demand.
Fast forward to now and I don't think lack of consumer power consumption is an issue for the power company anymore. As late as 2016, our executives were predicting that power consumption would basically be a flat scale for the next 20 years. Boy were they wrong. Exactly... I saw the charts. We were scared for our jobs. Fortunately I retired, but a still have a fair dinkum of company stock.
