Re:After rising for 100 years, electricity demand is flat by chongli on Tuesday February 27, 2018 @09:07PM (#16480081)
I've heard this story of the utility death spiral for about 5 years so I don't think it is a sudden problem

5 years is sudden in the utility world. Building a new power plant is a huge project that takes a lot of planning and economic forecasting to budget correctly. Do it wrong and you can waste astronomical amounts of money and bankrupt your energy company.
