All my LEDs and energy efficient appliances and we still went up by a lot?

How do you have a continuous 24/25 line when it’s only august? At best you can only have 2024 for Oct+, and average the first eight months.
And why does it start in april? Who starts a year-over-year comparison in april?
If the data is actually April24-Feb-25 – who needs March – then why is the 2019 data not labeled in the same way for the same april-feb cycle? No matter what, one of them is wrong.
And, you know, you’re missing an entire month. Kinda a big deal.

This is a good thing. Electrification is our only true, scalable path to combating climate and maintaining/strenghtening livelihoods globally

would be cool to see what percentage of clean energy- hydro, solar, wind contributes to our current energy needs. our consumption may go up but if we have clean energy usage go up, to me it’s a win.
