Short version: Electricity generation (and use?) is below its 2007 levels. Is this a trend? Let's skip to the last paragraph (as one always should when beginning to read these clickbait articles): "So is electricity use in the developed world fated to decline for years to come? Well, not exactly fated. Check out that bottom line in the last chart. Transportation now accounts for just 0.3 percent of retail electricity use in the U.S. If the shift to electric vehicles ever picks up real momentum, that's going to start growing, and fast. Dig more coal (or drill for more natural gas, or build more nuclear reactors, or put up more windmills and solar panels) -- the Teslas are coming." So, no. Get this trash out of my Hacker News.
