Are we doing less though? Because of efficiency gains we may be doing more work with less electricity so while the outward demand numbers are less that amount of work being done is increased.

I do know on a personal scale that LED lighting lets me have far more light hours for an incredibly lower bill. If anything I leave lights on more now. I even ran over a thousand feet of Christmas lights because their cost was so much less than before (like 12/15 to 1)
