It's getting much hotter every year and the likely hood of breaking a record increases. So don't be surprised to see the same story in 2020.

- shados 7y agoFine, so is it highest demand since "ever" with 2017 being the last record, or is it just that 2016 had even higher?
- AnimalMuppet 7y agoNo, this is the highest demand since 2017, with 2017 being slightly higher. Which is pretty lame. I'm with alexilliamson. So it's the highest in the last two years? Color me unimpressed. I guess it's just the consequences of recency bias running amuck. "2017? That was so five-minutes-ago."
- recursive 7y agoHuh? This story is about the highest electricity usage in 2 years. If it's getting hotter every year, we'd be seeing a new record.
- tjbiddle 7y agoOP should've said the running average is getting hotter every year. Next year may end up colder, but the average temperature of 2020-2024 will very likely be hotter than 2015-2019.
