"huge fall in heavy industry"

That seems a little extreme.

The huge fall seems to be from 35 quadrillion BTU all time peak around '97 down to around 33 quadrillion BTU today. They predict a 0.7% growth rate in the future based on the consistent increase since the '07 recession.

They expect commercial to keep growing, with the death of brick -n- mortar retail and general economic decline for non-elites, that sounds unrealistically optimistic.
