In a stunning trend with broad implications,
. . . the U.S. economy has grown significantly since 2007,
. . . while electricity consumption has been flat, and
. . . total energy demand actually dropped.
Fundamentally, energy efficiency is the low-hanging fruit,
. . . that never gets exhausted, because:
. . . . . . Technology, keeps improving,
. . . . . . Smart control systems, keep getting smarter, and
. . . . . . Knowledge, spreads to more, and more people.
We can expect the efficiency trend to continue expanding,
. . . thanks to the Clean Power Plan (CPP).
