Also consider the increase in efficiencies in the homes here. Incentives to improve leakage and appliance consumption through tax incentives have been implemented by this author. My home energy consumption is half what it was a decade ago. On Mar 2, 2018 8:44 PM, "Jed Rothwell"

Re: [Vo]:Amazing and overlooked: the big picture of Grid Energy in the USA

It seems to me that another factor in the decline has been the decline in manufacturing in the USA. I know that when the Fukushima disaster struck, the net reduction in available power in Japan caused significant problems in manufacturing - hinting that manufacturing was a large consumer of the

Has anyone looked at the impact of fracking on the data? Heating is a major energy sink and the difference in gas vs electric heating costs (even with heat pumps) could be a major driver in new builds. Andrew _ _ _ _ _ On Fri, Mar 2, 2018 at 6:31 PM, Jed Rothwell wrote:

[Vo]:Amazing and overlooked: the big picture of Grid Energy in the USA

Those of us who are completely focused on LENR or new sources for alternative energy may have missed the big picture story. We have not been “following the buck” so to speak. That is, when you look at the changes in the supply/demand of conventional energy since the beginning of the Industrial
