US residential electricity usage per capita has been relatively flat for a decade or two[1] so I think efficiency increases can offset higher usage. In regards to Netflix I suspect there's a streaming bandwidth plateau we will hit (if we have not already): there are only so many hours per day people can watch content, population growth isn't that strong (and can't increase forever), and video resolution then becomes the driver of increased data use (and that probably can't increase forever either).
