10. I added U.S. electrical consumption statistics to post#3 in the above

Since 2010 thru 2023, U.S. electricity consumption has grown only 0.22%/year. (No, I'm not saying that therefore it will be flat forever. Just to provide context to the U.S. electric power sector GHG emissions info in that post. No predictions from me, I'm just still figuring out where we've been up to this point).

In the process I discovered that Texas annually consumes (and produces) nearly twice as much electricity, 470 TWH, as its nearest rivals, California and Florida at 250 TWH each. Just a little context when considering the claims that Texas outpaced California in solar and will soon in battery storage -- well they should since they produce/consume almost twice as much electricity. As a share of total electric energy consumption, Texas is substantially behind California in solar and battery capacity.
