America produced 4,000TWH of electricity a year. This report says “22% of household consumption in 2028”, which if I commit the faux pass of mixing data it gets me 7% of US power consumption.
7% is a fucking lot though?? That’s an immense amount of power going towards slop instead of making our lives better or growing the economy or actually being productive.
It’s like we just decided to start burning our limited reserves of natural gas for fun.
Yes, it is a lot. But again not apocalyptic. And it’s noteworthy how the article tries to frame it hyperbolically as “22% of US household consumption”.

The situation is already apocalyptic. Making it even worse just means we all die even faster.
We are not currently on track for the world to end. Things are bad, but not that bad.
