@OlegEterevsky uh huh

@OlegEterevsky I'm trying to remember which source I was looking at when I wrote this question

@OlegEterevsky to be fair, it says "in 2040". We may have gone back to the dark ages by then

@RemNi Yes, I just wanted to point out that as stated the question requires serious de-growth.

It is possible that you meant just electricity, not all energy: https://www.statista.com/statistics/280704/world-power-consumption/

@OlegEterevsky ahh that's probably it. I'll stick to the wording of the original question. Great tips! 😄
