this is overall demand. They are saying that there will be plenty of natgas coming online, and even a bit of renewables.

So let's have this one:

Hydro included, the ROW is going to be doing a lot of renewables.

That too is overly optimistic, since we are now seeing in the US a coordinated effort on the right to resist demand destruction and to instead shackle all of us even more tightly to our vehicles. This proposal in Washington State is particularly insane, but also not surprising, since we are now in the opening stages of a war between those determined to preserve the forms and values of 20th century life against the effort to build a sustainable, stable 21st century prosperity.

Demand destruction will still happen, but it will take the form of more and more people being priced out of the ability to drive and given no alternatives, as we see a hardening of a two-tier society here in the US.

And the world will live as one

So can we combine the two graphs? see if there's an energy gap looming or if production has just adjusted to  fit perceived demand?

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
