Growth in electricity generation over the last 25 years:

China: 6000%

USA: ~0%

A reminder that electricity generation is actually a good indicator of real (productive) economic growth as opposed to fake growth through financial sleight of hand.

Ok look, I was just trolling because WTF was the point of that chart?

Yes China has industrialized over the last 25 year. That is super read and I'm in favor of that even if I'm not a fan of their geo-politics. I'm still in favor of the fine people in China having electricity. Seriously, good stuff, full stop.

Throwing the US on there, like. "poor capitalist pigs with their 'freedom' cannot even grow their electrification. Maybe we should send them some copper wire and instructions."

Is the target audience so dim as to not realize the US is generally electrified. The goal is to reduce usage through efficiency improvements.
