> It's like Finland has suddenly shut off its power grid
So, have we observed global energy usage go down by about one Finland?
Shouldn't that be observable somehow? Shouldn't there be some power stations reducing their output as a reaction to reduced demand?
Anyone know how this would be visible, and on what kind of time frame we expect it to become visible?
I'm not claiming it hasn't happened. I just feel surprised to not see more coverage of that in this article, nor here in the comments. Energy efficiency is largely the point of this major change. Shouldn't there be graphs of the power grids everywhere showing a big drop? Maybe my expectations are just off on that.
