Electricity Past & Future

My June IEEE Spectrum had an interesting chart in it, and I’ve used this as the main image for this post.

This is obviously the U.S. Electric consumption over time. There was also some interesting commentary on this, some of which I’ve excerpted in this post. But what I’m really interested in is what this tells us about the future, which is also covered.
