Re:After rising for 100 years, electricity demand is flat on Tuesday February 27, 2018 @11:15AM (#16474793)
Everything we spend money on is being manufactured more power efficiently, is more power efficient on its own, and grid demand drops as adoption of new efficient gadgets and individual solar expands?

At home we went all LED lights. My office followed suit. Even my city swapped the night time street lights

Sadly we had almost every appliance in the house die in the first 4 yrs we owned it. But they’re all new efficient models now

Fewer desktops, more tablets and phones. Our big TV is only on 3-4 hrs a week (but it too is a more power efficient model)

A lot of effort has gone into battery storage and efficiency this last decade.

Little numbers add up to big ones real fast
