Tonight we’ll be just one week from the end of 2023 and so I’m pretty sure the electricity system will be ending it with a total demand of 250TWh. That’s Terawatt hours — a thousand Gigawatt hours or a millions Megawatt hours, however you prefer. That continues the down trend from the days when we used 318TWh, as recently as 2012 and in spite of having 940,000 electric vehicles which were (checks notes) supposed to melt the system down. Coal is 1% and gas is down markedly already.
