Natively I would expect this to be true of every sequential year. Doesn’t really seem like news? Unless population is going to decline rapidly or something

Edit: ya, look at this plot https://www.eia.gov/electricity/data/browser/#/topic/5?geo=g... The yearly peak is not moronically increasing with time, but it’s pretty close. Every year is more or less a new “record”.

> The yearly peak is not moronically increasing with time,

In recent years it is when you consider most of the crypto/AI use cases. If you meant monotonically then yes, but the degree is still affected by said use cases.

With LEDs light bulbs and other focuses on energy savings in devices I'm interested in this new record.
