> gdp growth =/= energy consumption growth

As far as data is concerned, the correlation is pretty big though: https://theshiftproject.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/gdp_e...

True, but for the US, for example, energy consumption has been pretty much flat for the last 20 years, and decreasing in per-capita terms. See https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2021-01-28/beyond...

It's interesting to see how world trends look as more and more of the world ends up in the position the US was in 20 years ago in terms of economic mix.
